A new cycle low

US equity indexes mostly closed rather powerfully higher, SPX +92pts (2.6%) at 3669. Nasdaq comp' +2.2%. Dow +2.8%. The Transports settled +1.0%. R2K +2.5%.

SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

The SPX was +40pts around 8.29am, but then the latest inflation data appeared...


US equities duly opened very significantly lower, with the SPX printing a new multi-year low of 3491.

Whilst there was a powerful rebound into the mid afternoon, today's break into the 3400s is not to be dismissed lightly.

It should be clear... those calling a key floor today, are the SAME cheerleading clowns who called a key floor yesterday, last week, and last month. 

This remains a bear market, and powerful bounces have to be expected along the way.

Volatility cooled back, the VIX settling -4.9% to 31.94.
