Summary

US equities opened in minor chop mode, after overnight declines were negated with yet another 'breaking news: Corona vaccine/treatment' headline...



They're going to roll out this vaccine candidate, whether its 'significantly' beneficial or not, if only to bolster morale, right?

The afternoon saw further chop, but with a closing hour mini ramp to a new multi-month high of sp'3279, ahead of MSFT and TSLA earnings.

Volatility melted lower, the VIX settling -2.1% to 24.32.
