Another bounce attempt

US equity indexes closed significantly higher, SPX +49pts (1.1%) at 4446. Nasdaq comp' +2.0%. Dow +1.0%. The Transports settled +2.0%. R2K +1.9%.

SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities saw pre-market moderate gains fade to minor declines, as the PPI data wasn't pretty.

I'd especially suggest you read this...

... as the mainstream notion that CPI is at/near a peak is ludicrous. 

The market opened a little choppy... briefly red (as yesterday's bearish engulfing candle played out), but reversed, and clawed upward into the late afternoon.

Volatility was ground lower, the VIX settling -10.1% to 21.82.
