Closing Brief

US indexes saw some interesting swings across the day, settling a little higher, sp +0.1pts @ 1970. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled higher by 0.7% and 0.4% respectively. Near term outlook is for renewed upside... with the 1990/2000s viable by this Friday.

Summary

A somewhat typical FOMC day, but with the usual underlying latter day upside.

I don't expect to see sp'1962 broken below for some weeks. I would say 'months', but... I'll only be more confident once we're back in the 1990s.

Frankly, no one can complain about today. Bears had plenty of opportunity to exit, and anyone not already long, had good chance to get involved.
