Summary
Equities opened in minor chop mode, and with a clear absence of more than a few willing bulls, the market resumed lower. There were a couple of mini ramp attempts, but the day closed on a broadly weak note. Tech was notably weak, having broken rising trend that stretches back to April.
Volatility continued to climb, with the VIX settling +9.4% at 14.26. S/t outlook offers the sp'2760s, which should equate to VIX 15/16s. The key 20 threshold looks out of range.
