Summary

US equities opened on a weak note, pressured by further Corona concerns, but also by the latest weekly jobs data. The market saw considerable chop into the mid afternoon.

There was a closing hour ramp... for no good reason, with s/t momentum turning positive. Whilst the mainstream cheerleaders attributed the reason for the ramp as due to loosening of the Volcker rule, that news/chatter was out in pre-market.  

Volatility saw an early (cash market) high of 36.34, before melting lower into the mid afternoon, and getting whacked into the close, the VIX settling -4.8% to 32.22.

Your view...


A majority (if marginal) of you believe June will settle above 3K.
