SP Futures Hourly Chart at 1 PM


The US equity markets have bounced back to key resistance on a much great than expected drawdown in oil inventories.

The trade today seems very technical (ie short squeeze by the 100 million dollar men) and lacking in conviction.

Let's see how the markets deal with this and then trade accordingly. Volumes remain light, and may do so until September. However, if anything 'happens' this market may flop as convincingly as Obama's "change" platform.
