Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. US equity futures are broadly flat, we're set to open at sp'1995. USD is a little weak, -0.2% in the DXY 95.20s. Metals are weak, Gold -$4, whilst Oil is -1.4% in the $46s. Today will be rather important :)

Well, its Fed day. It could be the most important day since rates started to get cut in late 2007.

My guess.... although it is more of a hope.. the Fed do raise rates. However, if they do... they could temper it via a very dovish statement. Anyway, lets see what the printing maniacs do.

Eyes on Oil

USO, 60min

USO is set to open in the 15.15/10 range. I'll consider picking it up again... but it would only be a micro position. I remain in 'trading light' mode until sp'2040s.. at which point I will look to short.

Have a good Thursday
