11am update - morning weakness

Equities are seeing some moderate weakness, with the Monday baby bull flag having failed. Mr Market is offering the threat of continued downside to sp'2090/85 zone, where there are multiple aspects of support. Metals are holding gains, Gold +$8. WTIC Oil is holding the $60 threshold, +3.1%.

Summary

*as I will continue to note.. broader trend remains bullish... but hey... I realise some will be getting overly excited at this morning's weakness.

So.. moderate declines, but really, its the same old nonsense. Companies will be buying their own stock this morning.. as they did yesterday.. and as they'll do tomorrow.

Meanwhile.. BABA continues to unravel.. already breaking into the $77s.

BABA, daily


No doubt the mainstream will give BABA a lot of coverage this Thursday (for earnings)... but by then.. the stock could be as low as 70/68... right back to the IPO level.


11.23am.. sp'2098... so.. we're headed for 2090/85 it would seem.

Weakness into the jobs report.. and then ramp after.... probably.

notable weakness: FXI (long China).. -3.0%... looking ugly on the daily chart to SSEC 4K
