Pre-Market Brief

Good morning..and welcome to August. Futures are higher, sp +10pts, we're set to open at 1695. Precious metals are flat. whilst Oil is building on yesterdays gains, soaring, +1.9%. Bulls look set for yet another challenge of the sp'1700s.


sp'60min3' - broad overview.


Summary

Well, you'd have to think after yesterdays post-FOMC chop, we'll put in a close in the 1700s today.

Certainly though, bulls will need to push hard in the morning, otherwise the gains could fail again.

Considering there is 3-4bn of QE-pomo this morning, I think its safe to assume we will at least close positive, and that sets up my original target of the sp'1710/20s.

For the bears out there looking to short...just a little more patience seems required.

Big Friday jobs data tomorrow, a brief spike into the 1710/20s...and I'll start hitting buttons again.

Good wishes for today..and indeed....August!
