US equities are set for a third consecutive net daily gain, with the sp' due to settle within the 2085/75 zone... along with VIX 13s. USD is set for a sixth daily gain, +0.1% in the DXY 94.20s. Metals have built moderate gains, Gold +$6, with Silver +1.1%. Oil is really helping the market mood, +2.9% in the $44s.
