Summary

US equities opened a little weak, and choppily declined to an afternoon low of 2625. There was a rather typical latter day 'turnaround Tuesday' ramp, with the sp' settling a little higher at 2654. The s/t setup for Wed' is rather bullish, as a foray into the low 2700s looks probable.

Volatility remained subdued, with the VIX settling in the 15s.
