Summary
Equities opened a little choppy, leaning weak to 3047, but then clawing back upward into early afternoon.
These remain bizarre times, the following two screenies are added, if only for historical posterity...

The afternoon saw considerable chop, but with the closing hour seeing an upward spike to 3111, and settling at 3100. Volatility was ground lower, the VIX settling -4.2% to 30.43.
With the SPX settling June above multiple aspects of support, not least the 50dma, psy'3K, the monthly 10MA, and the 200dma, it made for a second consecutive bullish monthly settlement. The market still looks vulnerable to the mid/low 2800s, but I would expect July itself to also settle >3K, not least if stim' bill 4 is passed.
