US equities closed broadly higher, sp +20pts @ 2121 (intra high 2126). The
two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled higher by 1.5% and 1.3% respectively. Near
term outlook remains uncertain, with the threat of a move to 2135/40, or weakness to break the double floor of 2072. Certainly.. the 'Greek
situation' will be a key determinate.

Suffice to say, a day for the equity bulls, but overall... the gains look increasingly shaky as the Greek situation continues to build to breaking point.
In my view, a large part of the market is in outright denial. A break below the double floor of sp'2072, is 49pts (2.4%) lower... that won't be easy... but it IS viable if the Greek situation worsens across the weekend.
