Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are moderately higher, sp +8pts, we're set to open at 2034. Metals are a little weak, Gold -$6. Energy prices are bouncing, Nat' gas +0.8%, whilst Oil is +0.2%. Renewed weakness to sp'2000 looks highly probable.

Summary

*awaiting jobs data and retail sales @ 8.30am
---

So, we're set to open a little higher. Call the opening gains a sub'4 (of 3) bounce... but I'd still guess we'll see a further wave lower later today

First key target remains the giant sp'2000 threshold. That still seems possible.. whether late today, tomorrow, or even next Mon/Tuesday.

What should be clear to most equity bears, this down wave is not likely to last beyond next Wednesday's FOMC. The clock IS ticking!

Good wishes For Thursday trading.
