Pre-Market Can Kicking

Good morning. With the Greeks provisionally agreeing to a third bailout - with terms/conditions worse than those the Greek people voted against just a week ago, equities futures have swung higher, sp +14pts, we're set to open around 2090. DXY is rallying, +0.3% in the DXY 96.30s.

Summary

So... another Greek can kick.. at least 'provisionally'.

The only issue now is whether the market can break new historic highs (in some indexes, certainly not all) in August.. before more significant weakness into early October.

From a pure cyclical perspective, equity bears would probably do well to step aside for at least 2-3 weeks.

Overnight China action: the swings continue... but more moderate, after a little morning chop... the Shanghai comp' settled +2.4% @ 3970. The 4K level looks imminent, with bounce upside to the 4300/500 zone into August. I expect renewed weakness after mid August... to at least 3K... perhaps 2500 for a capitulation washout in Sept/Oct.

If correct, it will be interesting to see how the Chinese leadership respond to another major equity down wave. Will they have dedicated firing squads for equity bears, or just maybe just seize their homes and send them to the mines of Tibet? Would that be bullish resource sector?
