11am update - messy morning

US equities have seen some real messy action so far. A fractional new high of sp'1992, but the R2K had fallen -1.0%.... but now bouncing back to -0.3%. VIX has seen some bizarre opening price moves. Metals remain weak, Gold -$12.

Summary

*lower gap zone in the 13s.. filled in the VIX.   The 15s would be an obvious target in the next equity down wave.

So..what to make of this?

Overall... yes, there are some signs of weakness - via the two leaders (Trans/R2K).. but the overall market still broadly on the rise.

The fact the VIX is again back to red should not excite the bears about tomorrow.
