Summary

April/Q2 began on a strong note, helped by a combination of Asian/European market strength, higher WTIC, and rebounding bond yields.Volatility was naturally subdued, with the VIX stuck in the 14/13s.

The market is s/t over-stretched, and a cooling wave is due, although no price action <2810 can be expected. The March settlement was outright bullish, and a challenge of the 2900s is clearly viable within April.
