Summary
US equities were moderately higher in pre-market, but by the open... they had already turned to minor declines... reflective of underlying weakness. The morning saw considerable chop, if increasingly leaning on the weaker side.
The afternoon saw yet another bounce attempt to fractional gains, but the closing hour saw a fine example of 'rats selling into the long weekend'.
Volatility picked up to 29.71, if settling -1.3% to 27.75.
