1pm update - what a chop fest!

A micro rally to sp'1836, and the sp'500 is back to flat. For Mr retail trader out there, this is a real messy week..and for those not focused on the bigger picture, understandably...confusing. Metals are looking weak, with Gold just +$2. Oil remains very weak, -0.8%
