Bouncing ahead of CPI

US equity indexes closed rather powerfully higher, SPX +107pts (2.6%) at 4277. Nasdaq comp' +3.6%. Dow +2.0%. The Transports settled +2.8%. R2K +2.8%.

SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities opened significantly higher, and built rather powerful gains into the afternoon. The mid/late afternoon saw increasing chop, printing 4299, but late day cooling to settle at 4277.

Volatility was ground lower, the VIX settling -7.6% to 32.45. Whilst Thursday will inherently favour the equity bears, I'm suspicious the market will open initially higher... regardless of the exact CPI print.
