Summary

US equities opened in minor chop mode, and saw choppy weakness into mid afternoon. The 2pm hour saw a micro bounce, partly on the excuse of the fed beige book. However, the closing hour broke a new intraday low, settling just above the key Monday intra low of 2767.

Volatility picked up, with the VIX settling +6.8% at 15.74. A push to the key 20 threshold looks a given.
