11am update - broadly higher

The market is comfortably holding the sp'1640s. Mid-term upside into August looks to be somewhere in the 1700s. Precious metals are holding gains of ove r1%, but Oil is surprisingly weak, but still above the big $100 threshold (the new floor?).

VIX'daily3


Summary

VIX is a touch higher, but really, that is surely to be just dismissed as 'noise'. With the current downside momentum, VIX looks set to be weak for at least another few weeks.

So, sp'1643, and its just another summers day...bear weather....not.

*I remain on the sidelines, am in no hurry to go long, and most definately...not intending to short the main market any time soon.


11.32am  There is some weakness, we're due a small down cycle.

Obvious gap to fill @ sp'1632.

Indexes could in theory go briefly red, but still..primary trend is UP.
