1pm update - awaiting a bearish cross

US equities remain moderately weak, despite Oil which is holding strong gains of around 3% in the $45s. Increasing equity weakness looks due this afternoon, with a probable daily close in the sp'2065/60 zone. Broadly though, equity bears should be seeking an eventual break <2039.
