Good morning. US equity futures are moderately weak, sp -9pts, we're set to open at 1936. USD is broadly flat in the DXY 97.40s. Metals are bouncing, Gold +$11 and Silver +0.3%. Oil is -1.2% in the $33s.


sp'60min


Summary

Market is seeing a minor cool down... but broadly... even the sp'1900 threshold looks out of range.. before the 1950/60s are first hit. So... I'd be looking for some latter day upside.
-

early movers

CHK +2.5%... early gains, but is still in dire trouble
FCX -5.3%... as above
RIG -2.6%.... more trash...cooling

GDX +1.7%... as Gold rises, but looks highly vulnerable if Gold cools to the $1180s, before the next up wave into the spring.

TVIX +4.0% @ $8.50... but 7s look due if sp'1960s.
