Summary

*if tomorrow's EIA report can please the market.. then WTIC will be testing $50.. with USO up another 3-4%.

Little to add.

A day of relative chop... further equity weakness is probable tomorrow... but from a trading perspective, it looks a lousy trade.

A move above the FOMC (minutes) high of sp'2020 looks due.
