Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. US equity futures are broadly lower, sp -17pts, we're set to open under yesterdays low, around 2060. Metals are weak, Gold -$5. Oil continues to implode, -2.3% in the $36s.


sp'60min


Summary

Overnight price action sure wasn't so pretty.. with broad weakness to the low sp'2060s.

Price structure: You could call the ongoing decline from the Friday high some kind of deep retrace... with this morning, a viable C wave.

Equity bulls sure need to hold last weeks low of 2042. If that (for whatever reason) broke... it'd be a major problem.

As ever, what will really matter is the monthly close. The key threshold (at least to me) remains the 10MA... currently in the sp'2050s.
