Chop into the weekend

US equity indexes closed fractionally mixed, sp +0.7pts at 2433. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled +0.1% and -0.2% respectively. VIX settled -4.8% at 10.38. Near term outlook offers weakness to sp'2400/2390s, before renewed upside into early July for Q2 earnings. Broadly, the US market remains 'scary strong'.
