Summary

US equities opened moderately higher. The gains to 2841 were shaky though, with the SPX cooling back to fractionally negative to 2820 in late morning. The afternoon saw another wave higher to 2833, before a touch of cooling into the long weekend. Volatility was naturally subdued, with the VIX melted lower, settling -6.3% at 15.85.

Yours truly was naturally watching the live feed via Youtube at 4am. A look outside, and I saw an engine burst/flash from the second stage as it flew over London. Regardless of what you might think of Musk and Tesla, SpaceX continues to produce superb and inspirational work. Maximum bullish SpaceX to the Moon, Mars... and beyond.
