Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are flat, we're set to open at sp'1997. Metals are still sliding, Gold -$4, with Silver -0.6%. Equity bulls need a weekly close of sp'2003 to turn the weekly 'rainbow' chart back to outright bullish. First key support remains sp'1970.

Summary

*awaiting this mornings quartet of econ-data...
--

Retail sales +0.6%.. in line.. so that is one for the bulls.
-

As for today, yesterday's daily candle is suggestive of at least some upside this morning. I'd be surprised if we go much above 2005 though. The low sp'1970s still seem a viable target.. but clearly..that is not on the menu today.


Update from Mr C.
