Summary

*note the upper bollinger on the weekly cycle, still offering the 2140s in the near term.
--

Well, now its seemingly a case of whether we'll see a net weekly gain.

A break above 2110 will be important, but more so, 2117. If the latter is achieved, we should be trading in the 2135/45 zone by end month.

Best guess... new historic highs in some indexes, but the Trans/R2K are probably an early warning of 'summer trouble'.
--

The continuing weakness in the USD is no surprise, but we're clearly VERY vulnerable to flooring in the DXY 93/92s.
--

*awaiting weekly jobs data... but more so.. PPI data.

Have a good Thursday
-

8.32am.. sp +12pts, 2110... back to the Tuesday high.

Jobs data were arguably 'fine'... PPI was -0.4%... but then... lower prices are good for some.

Metals are cooling a touch, Gold back to flat.... although it is notable Gold was -$6 overnight.
