Summary
We appear to be set to open much like yesterday, sp +5pts to 1380 or so.
There is little question that we are rolling over on the daily cycle - as lead by the Transports and Rus'2000 indexes, yet we're still trading within a channel that is now five weeks old.
Good wishes for Thursday trading!
