11am update - battling for a floor

The sp'500 is battling to solidify a floor of 2021, which is close enough to count as a test of the Nov'16th low of 2019. VIX has so far maxed out at 21.87. Oil remains very weak, currently -1.3%.. having broken a new low of $35.78, as many analysts continue to seek the $32s.

Summary

Well, it sure ain't pretty... as we're another day closer to the fed raising rates.

On balance, this is still very likely just the market washing itself out, before a multi-week up cycle into 2016. I realise though, some of you are seeking a break <2K, with a major upset into year end, via 'credit market' problems.

notable weakness...

AAPL, -1.7%


.. but so far.. holding just above rising support. If the main market does ramp after the FOMC, then the $130 threshold remains a very valid target.

Meanwhile... here in London city...


Pure... grey horror, very much matching the market mood.
