10am update - opening weakness

US equities open moderately lower, with a marginal break of the daily 10MA of sp'2041. VIX is on the rise, but so far.. failing to show any real kick.. +4% in the mid 14s. Metals are holding rather strong gains, Gold +$10... which is naturally helping the miners.

Summary

*awaiting trio of econ-data at 10am.

If you assume sp'2056 was a short term high, first target is 2000... and then the 50dma.. which for the next few weeks will be in the 1980s...

Hence.. my primary zone is a slightly revised 2000/1980.

As noted last evening... I just can't see much of a sig' drop before year end.
