Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are moderately higher, sp+7pts, we're set to open around 1615. Precious metals and Oil are similarly a little higher, helped by a weaker USD. Daily index trends are still to the downside, but we are probably close to flooring.

Summary

*weekly jobless claims: 346k, nothing particularly good...not 'that bad'.

So, we're set to open a little higher. Its hard to know if this is merely a wave'4 bounce, before a final move lower late today/early Friday.

Regardless, I think the floor is 'close', and I'm seeking a significant 5-10 bounce, at least to the sp'1660s.

Whether we then put in the first lower high of the year, that is the big question.

Good wishes for the day ahead!

ps. Anyone in the UK, turn on Channel'4. Kinda appropriate movie right now.

Morning video from Mr Permabull



HIs 'new economy' is not the economy I want to live in.

9.22am.. Mr Draghi not exactly inspiring confidence..market now set to open flat..if not a touch lower. 

9.41am... messy open..minor drop..now a pop higher...

Hourly index MACD cycle is ticking higher still...bears beware. Very considerable risk of upside into the Friday close.
