U.S. stock futures retain bulk of rise after ADP

[at MarketWatch] - U.S. stock futures only lightly pared strong Wednesday gains after ADP reported private payrolls declined 10,000 in August after a revised 37,000 hike in July. The data are a little worse than expected, and that could pare some of the bullishness in U.S. equity futures, but traders may not take big bets off this number ahead of the more critical employment report Friday, noted analysts at Action Economics.
