Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. US equity futures are a little lower, sp -3pts, we're set to open at 2068. Broadly, it would seem probable the 2080/90s will be seen before a sig' retrace begins. Energy prices continue to fall, Nat' gas -1.3%, and Oil -0.9%.

Summary

*awaiting a number of econ-data points.
--

Today will likely see net daily gains.. with a close in the sp'2080s.

Right now, a cycle peak looks due late tomorrow/early Thursday... from there.. downside to around the 2000 threshold.

To be clear though, I do not believe it will be a viable short-side trade... I don't intent to attempt to short it. Default trade currently is long-side.

notable early movers....

BABA +8.3% in the $82s... above the 200dma... very significant.
F -3.2%
AAPL +0.5% in the $115s.. ahead of earnings.
