Summary
US equity indexes mostly opened on a positive note, but the gains were shaky from the start, with the SPX cooling from 4155 to 4129. There was a secondary push upward... if very choppy, settling at 4151.
Volatility was ground lower, the VIX settling -4.4% to 19.14.
Whilst a few indexes settled lower, it was to be seen as a net bullish Thursday. The only issue is whether the political hacks will announce they have a debt ceiling agreement, before... or not until after the long weekend.
