Summary

*all US indexes are set for the second consecutive significant net weekly gain.
--

So.. we're set to open higher.. .and now its a case of whether we end the week a little above.. or a below the previous FOMC (Sept 17th)  high of sp'2020. In many ways... it doesn't much matter.. as we're still set for powerful net weekly gains of 3% or so.

Broadly.. the market looks on track for the 2040/60 zone.. and as I shall keep droning on about, the ultimate issue is whether that will result in a critical FAIL.
