Futures market pointing towards a ‘softer start’ for ASX 200

CommSec’s Craig James says the futures market is pointing towards a “softer start” for Australia’s share market. “Down around about 11 points at the start of trade or two-tenths of one per cent,” Mr James told Sky News Australia. “We saw similar sorts of losses across the United States, although the UK was higher by two-tenths of one per cent. “The main concern in terms of markets at the moment is the slow progress in the debt ceiling talks in the United States.” Presented by CommSec.
