I'm just posting this quick notice in here for those who aren't aware of tomorrow's market closure here stateside.

The NYSE and Nasdaq will be closed all day tomorrow in observance of National Day of Mourning for the passing of George H.W. Bush.

Here's the press release from the CME Group for those wondering how this will impact the CME globex (futures) markets.

It's also worth noting that the ADP Employment Report has been moved over to Thursday as well as a handful of other economic reports.

I'm not entirely sure about companies earnings that were scheduled for release on Wednesday.

That being said, I would keep an eye on Earnings Whispers Twitter page for the latest updates.
