Closing Brief

US equities closed significantly higher, sp +26pts @ 2019. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled higher by 1.2% and 1.9% respectively. With the closing hour strength, the viability of a hit of the 200dma has greatly decreased. In any case... broader upside... once the ECB announce QE.

Summary

... and another week in market land comes to a close.

Congrats to all those who didn't get blown up by the FX changes!
-

The closing hour was a major disappointment, and clearly, a fair few bears were either short-stopped out, or simply closed out for the long weekend.

The chance of renewed downside to sp'1965... is much reduced.

Have a good.... THREE day weekend :)
