Leaving behind a period of indecision, markets went off in their own special ways like a string of firecrackers after the U.S. Labor Department reported the U.S.

Tomorrow the Labor Department will issue its monthly employment report with September's numbers. If ADP's private assessment is any indication, the U.S. will be adding around 190,000 to 220,000 jobs.

The dramatic sell-off in equities across the globe - except for Shanghai, which eked out a quarter-point gain - sent gold up today, covering yesterday's losses.
