10am update - opening chop

US equities open with very minor chop, around the sp'2100 threshold. A move to 2115/20 zone looks very probable, more viable early Thursday.. than late today. With the USD +0.4% in the DXY 100.10s, commodities are under pressure. Gold -$10, whilst Oil is -1.6%, ahead of the EIA report.
