Churn ahead of the CPI

US equity indexes closed on a weak note, SPX -7pts (0.2%) at 4219. Nasdaq comp' -0.1%. Dow -0.4%. The Transports settled -1.2%.

SPX - daily5

VIX - daily3

Summary

It was another day of mostly minor churn, as the market was content to be in a holding pattern ahead of Thursday morning's CPI data.

The late afternoon saw a little cooling, with most indexes settling fractionally weak.

Volatility was naturally subdued, the VIX settling +4.8% to 17.89.

Tomorrow is a Thursday, and that will inherently favour the equity bears/volatility bulls. The CPI data will likely offer the excuse for a big move.
