Late day surge

US equity indexes closed broadly higher, sp +25pts (0.9%) at 2846. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled +2.3% and +0.3% respectively. Near term outlook offers a cooling wave before the weekend, but anything <2800 looks overly difficult, even with a looming full-blood moon!

Summary

It was mostly just another day of minor chop... leaning on the positive side.
