Morning, Traders!
It is Monday the 4th of September, and markets in the US are closed today in observance of Labor Day.
Nonetheless, here is what to look out for today.

Huawei and China's top chipmaker have developed an advanced 7-nanometer processor to power its latest smartphone, indicating that Beijing is making early progress in a nationwide push to circumvent US efforts to slow its rise.
