Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are moderately higher, sp +8pts, we're set to open at 2076. USD continues to strengthen, +0.8% in the DXY 97.00s. Metals are naturally lower, Gold -$4. Oil remains exceptionally weak, -1.1% in the $52s.

Summary

So, we're set to open back at the Friday closing level.

All things considered, the market should see increasing weakness after the usual turn time of 11am. I would expect a net daily close in the 2050/40s.

Overnight China action: a new cycle low of 3585, but settling -1.3% @ 3727. Clearly the Chinese leadership will be getting real frustrated as the selling continues.

My 'crazy' target of the 3400s -  that was I touting when 5K was hit... we're almost there. If 3400s fail to hold... there really isn't anything until around 2500.
