Summary

US equities were broadly higher in early pre-market, and caught an extra wave upward on the monthly jobs data from the BLS.

Equities duly opened very significantly higher, with the SPX pushing to 3165. There was a mid morning cooling wave to 3130, but then renewed upside into the early afternoon. The late afternoon saw some distinct cooling, which made for a daily black candle, and that bodes bearish for Mon/Tuesday.

Volatility was in melt mode, the VIX settling -3.3% to 27.68.
