Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Equity futures are powerfully higher, sp +41pts, we're set to open around 1962. First key target is the psy' level of 2000, with best bull case of the 2050/70 zone in FOMC week.

Summary

So... all the Friday upset is now a distant memory, and indeed as I thought at the time, it was just another tease by Mr Market to the bears.

Before next chance of a sig' down wave, we're headed up to at least sp'2000, if not the 2050/70 zone next week.

Its hard to call what the Fed might do  What is clear though, are the daily MACD cycles, which remain extremely low, and due to be reset to a large extent.. and that will take the better part of TWO weeks.

I certainly can't be short (whether light or heavy) until the tail end of next week.

early movers

AAPL +2.7% in the $112.10s
DIS +1.3% in the $102.20s
NFLX +3.6% .. 102.40s

Overnight China action: Weakness across the morning, then a magical (and consistent) climb into the close, settling +2.9% @ 3170. It looks like the PBOC (or their agents) were hitting the BUY button.

*I am holding a micro AAPL-long position. The option month is Sept', and at the very least I should roll out to Oct'. So, I'll look for an early exit... and will consider buying back Oct'.. this afternoon, or tomorrow.

Have a good Tuesday.
