Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are flat, we're set to open at sp'2127. The USD continues to rally, +0.2% in the DXY 95.40s. Metals are vainly bouncing, Gold +$1. Oil is similarly trying to rebound, +0.5%, ahead of the next EIA report.

Summary

So we're set for a quiet open. Not much is due today... just oil inventory data and the FOMC minutes. By the afternoon, hourly equity cycle will be prone to swinging upward again.

A real train wreck of a stock... one I have never traded.. nor would. Although I will keep an eye on YHOO today, if only for entertainment purposes.

Update from a returning Oscar



Not surprisingly, Mr C is looking for a holiday reversal, I suppose a brief drop of 1-2% is possible before another swing higher into mid June. In any case.. its minor noise, whilst the broader trend remains intact.
