Summary

*Oil is notably weak, -2.7%... as supply is simply too high
--

Some mild equity chop, the hourly MACD cycle looks set to rollover in the late afternoon.

Again, its a case of 'who wants to be long into the holiday weekend? In theory, market should see at least some degree of weakness... a full test of the 200dma of 2054 still seems viable.

-
notable weakness: INTC -1.1% around the $30 threshold.. The low 29s look due.. before first chance of a bounce... and that is a good indirect signal that the broader market is still vulnerable into the weekend.. and early next week.

-
time for some more ice.
