Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. US equity futures are a little higher, sp +5pts, we're set to open at 2050. USD is +0.4% in the DXY 94.90s. Metals are weak, Gold -$10. Oil is +2.7% in the $36s, after the latest API report.

Summary

Cyclically a day of moderate chop is to be expected.. but leaning on the downside, as (in theory) we should remain broadly headed for the sp'2020/15 zone - with VIX 18s.

Best guess: opening gains, a lot of chop, but closing with marginal net daily declines.

Thursday will offer the bears a chance at 2020/15.... or more viable... Friday.

Update from Mr C.



The issue of the 'failed head test' is very important, and I will try to cover it more later this evening.
