Good morning and welcome to World Wide Exchange on a thursday on cnbc. Im sara eisen. Along with don chew who is in for wilfred today. Good to be here again. Especially on a golf story. Lets check in on Global Markets and show you what futures are doing. The dow closing higher by 40 points thanks in part to apple and goldman sax. The losing streak is done. It continues this theme where it was minor losses and minor gains and it looks like equity futures just slipped into the red. They were higher this morning. By all of four points on the dow. Very flat markets overall like you said. The biggie tomorrow the government jobs report for the month of july. Yields slowly creeping higher. 1. 54 is the yield on your 10year.

Those employees now work for me again and are rehired. I suspect they are in your offic
