The short week

US equity indexes closed on a weak note, SPX -18pts (0.4%) at 4496. Nasdaq comp' -0.1%. Dow -0.6%. The Transports settled -2.2%. R2K -2.1%

SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities opened a little weak, with the SPX cooling to 4496, before a choppy rebound to 4514, settling moderately lower at 4496.

Volatility picked up, the VIX printing 14.47, if cooling back to settle +7.0% to 14.01.

Whilst Wednesday might open higher, I'd look for a downside reversal, as the broadly setup favours the bears into mid Sept'.
