Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. US equity futures are moderately lower, sp -11pts, we're set to open at 2049. Whilst the USD is +0.1% in the DXY 97.90s, metals are weak, Gold -$6. Oil is back on the slide, -2.9% in the $36s.

Summary

There are just four days left of the year, and we're starting the short week on a somewhat bearish note.

However, nothing has changed. Another net weekly gain is highly probable... somewhere in the 2080/90 zone.

There is a clear price gap around 2040, and Mr Market will be highly prone for a sharp reversal there today/early tomorrow.

Oil will clearly play a role in this market into year end... and across 2016. For now... there is more probability of upside ($40 threshold)... than breaking new multi-year lows.
