SP 500 and NDX Futures Daily Charts - Icarus Ascending


"In vain I had at heart to find
The center and the end of space.
Beneath some burning, unknown gaze
I feel my very wings unpinned...

And give my name to the abyss
Which waits to claim me as its own.”

Charles Baudelaire, Lament of an Icarus

The Atlanta Fed's forecast for the third quarter barely holds a pulse at 0.9%.

Have a pleasant evening.
