Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are essentially flat, we're set to open around sp'1888. Precious metals are higher, Gold +$5, with Silver +0.9%. Equity bulls merely need to hold the 1880s into the Friday close, which will be enough to keep the weekly cycle on a bullish track into June.

Summary

As for today, there is a fair amount of econ-data for Mr Market to churn through. We should certainly see some price movement this morning.

Best guess..the 'general' upside continues....and we move into the 1890s..whether today or tomorrow.

With a 3 day weekend ahead, I have next to zero inclination to take on any new positions. I will reassess across the weekend.
