US equities remain in nano chop mode, a daily close in the sp'2060s looks probable. The market looks set to make an attempt to clear next resistance of 2075/80 next Mon/Tuesday. Metals are holding moderate gains, Gold +$5. Oil is seeing some swings.. currently battling to stay positive, +0.1%.

Summary

This remains no market to be short... even Oil looks set for further upside into January.

Clearly, there are huge underlying economic issues, and it remains particularly amusing to see some in the mainstream question whether the recent Fed rate rise was a critical error.

morning reversal: DIS, daily

Here in London city...

Shoppers on the move

Blue skies.. green parks.

A very reasonable late afternoon in the metropolis, as a fair few million are completing their Christmas shopping (bullish V and MA). Whilst there was a bit of a wild rainstorm a few hours earlier, it remains an exceptionally mild winter.. and that will certainly cause problems for those retailers trying to offload winter clothing.
