Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are fractionally higher, sp +1pt, we're set to open at 2082. The market remains firmly stuck under resistance of 2088/89. Metals are a little weak, Gold -$2. Oil is higher by 0.8%.

Summary

So...  a broadly flat open is due... certainly nothing for the bears to get excited about.

Price action remains a choppy mess. Even if we do slip lower from here, we surely won't break <2039 by the Friday close.... in which case... no real clarity across the weekend.

-
notable early weakness, AA -2.6% @ $13.30s... post earnings depression

Indexes turning red... sp -3pts, so.. that is 2078
