Summary

Well, here we go again, another week begins.

As noted at the weekend though, there really isn't much scheduled this week, and that will certainly favour the bulls.
--

Notable early movers...
CHK -1.6%, no doubt due to weak energy prices
FCX -1.2%, still falling within a broad down trend from the early summer, much like energy stocks

There are minor gains in the airlines, due to lower oil.

Have a good Monday!
