Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are moderately lower, sp -11pts, we're set to open at 1674, which is a marginal break of the key floor of 1675. The bears might actually be able to gap straight under support! Precious metals are lower, Gold -$8, Oil is a touch higher.

Summary

*jobless claims : 320k, better than expected
--

Well, its going to be a VERY marginal situation at the open. The bears just need a tiny bit of follow through, and the FIVE week support will be broken.

-
As ever..the QE remains a problem, and that will be kicking in after 10am.

Further, the hourly MACD cycle is already low, and it will be difficult for the bears to keep pushing lower.
-

Regardless, I'm holding off until both today and tomorrow QE are out of the way.

notable movers: CSCO, -8%

Mr Permabull-Carboni is looking for weakness...



Not sure what to make of his unusual call

8.44am... sp now set to -14pts, which will be 1671...a VERY clear break of support.

Well, the door will now open to 1660/55, where there is a multiple key support.
