Summary

US equities opened in minor chop mode, and remained that way into the mid afternoon. The closing hour saw a mini ramp to break a new hist' high of sp'3937, and settling moderately higher at 3934.

Volatility was naturally subdued, the VIX settling -6.0% to 19.97. Today's settlement under the key 20 threshold is significant, and will be seen by many as an extra equity BUY signal.
