11am update - battling to build a floor

US equities are battling hard to hold above the early low of sp'1919 - a notably higher low from 1903. If the market can stabilise from here... talk will swing back toward the sp'2000 threshold. VIX remains positive, +7% in the 27s, but looks highly vulnerable to closing the week red.
