Summary

US equities open significantly higher, with the SPX pushing to 4428. However, the gains were always shaky, with indexes turning negative in early afternoon. The late afternoon saw broad weakness to 4309, and settling at 4326. Volatility was once again mixed, swinging from 28.42 to 33.00, and settling -4.6% to 30.49. 

With just two trading days left of January, I would suggest any of you to go stare at this for a good hour...
