2pm update - building gains

US equities continue to build gains, with the sp +15pts @ 2036. A daily close in the 2040s looks more viable tomorrow.. along with VIX 16/15s. Metals remain weak, Gold -$5, after Gartman has turned bullish shiny things. Oil is holding sig' gains of 1.3%.. and that is certainly helping energy stocks.
