Transports whacked

US equity indexes closed on a broadly weak note, sp -19pts (0.6%) at 2984. Nasdaq comp' -0.5%.  Dow -0.4%. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled -3.6% and -0.7% respectively.

Transports, daily

Summary

Whilst the broader market leaned weak, the Transports was powerfully lower on Wednesday, dragged lower by CSX. The irony is that the double miss in EPS/Rev' was only marginal, earnings weren't that bad. The closing hour saw equities break a new intraday low, and that was before the massive miss in Netflix subscriber growth!

Volatility remains subdued, with the VIX settling 8.6% at 13.97. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls, although the bigger daily equity and VIX cycles both threaten sig' downside into next week.
