10am update - opening reversal

US equities open higher, but the gains are less than pre-market levels. Far more notable is action in the precious metals/miners, which have seen a strong reversal. It remains the case that the broad strength in the metals/miners (since the Dec/Jan' low) are arguably an indirect bearish indicator for equities.
