Summary

US equities opened fractionally higher, but saw an immediate reversal, with a morning low of 2612. From there, a great deal of chop, leaning upward in the afternoon to 2645, and settling at 2639. Near term outlook offers one final wave lower to around 2604, before whipsawing back upward.

Volatility was choppy, opening at 18.14, and climbing to 19.84, before cooling into the close. Sustained VIX >20 looks unlikely in the near term.
