Summary

Pre-market futures were weak, but the release of Powell's prepared remarks at 8.30am (the timing by the fed was carefully scheduled) saw futures swing to moderate gains. The SPX broke above giant psy'3000 just before 10am.


Powell, and an appropriately capped Art Cashin

The SPX printed 3002, before a moderate cooling wave to 2984, before a secondary wave higher to 2999. The closing hour saw minor chop.  Volatility was ground lower, with the VIX settling -7.5% at 13.03.
