Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are moderately higher, sp +6pts, we're set to open at 1961. A daily/weekly close above the 50 day MA of 1955 would clarify that new historic highs are very likely in most indexes.


sp'60min


Summary

So, we're set to be trading in the 1960s at the open, and a slow grind to 1970 seems very viable today.

Notable strength: R2K, +0.7%. Upper bol' on the daily offers the low 1160s, which would make for a daily gain of 1.5%.... suggestive the broader market will claw to sp'1970, with Dow 16800s.

*as things are, I'm tired.. its been a long week, and I might get intentionally stopped out at the open.

Update from Mr C.
