Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are a touch lower, sp -2pts, we're set to open at 1708. Precious metals are suffering early losses, Gold -$10, but Silver -50 cents (-2.5%). Oil is moderately weak, -0.5%. With sig' QE today, equity bulls will surely build upon recent gains.

Summary

So..a relatively quiet open..a little chop..and with the daily and weekly charts pushing to the upside, the bulls should manage to close today in the 1715/25 zone.

No doubt many will be calling a top if we're in the 1740/60 zone within the next few weeks, but again, I'll ask..why would it stop there? Equity bears have been under-estimating the power and duration of the up cycles since the multi-year rally started in 2009.

*Metals look very weak, and it is somewhat annoying to see Silver continue to fall having exited last week. I remain long Oil, and hopefully that will break above resistance either today or tomorrow..and start some degree of multi-day climb.

Early mover: TSLA, +2.9% in the $184s
