Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are moderately lower, with the sp -9pts, we're set to open around 1745. Metals are weak, Gold -$9. Oil is very weak, -1.6%, with WTIC in the $96s. Equity bulls could sustain a drop into the low 1730s and it will do zero damage to the current very strong upward trend.

Summary

It feels like a fair while since we have opened lower, yet...we're only talking about index falls of 0.5%. This is absolutely nothing for the equity bears to get overly excited about.

Frankly, baring a move back under 1700, and then the August low of 1627, I can't take any decline remotely seriously. 

*bears should keep in mind there is a sig QE-pomo of around $3bn today, which will no doubt help to negate much..if not all of the sell side volume.

notable movers so far: NFLX -$7 (2%) :@ $315. The Monday AH high of $396 sure looks a long way up. CAT is weak, -4%, whilst Boeing is +3%.
