Summary

US equities opened moderately higher, and it was enough for the SPX to break a new historic high of 3337.77, making it a day and week for the bulls.

Trump caught some attention in early morning...


Interviewed by the Kernan of CNBC, the US President took a few mild swipes at the fed, and once again called for lower interest rates. For the record, another rate cut looks probable late spring/early summer.




The late afternoon saw a little equity cooling, with the SPX briefly turning fractionally red.
Volatility remained subdued, with the VIX settling +0.5% at 12.91.  

The SPX settled with a black candle today, and that does lean s/t bearish. The fact it will be a Thursday, will inherently favour the bears. Things only turn 'interesting' with a break of s/t rising trend, and tomorrow, that will be around 3292.
