Equities saw a little early cooling to sp'4521 on weak jobs data, but then recovered to resume minor chop mode, as was very natural ahead of the long weekend.

The afternoon saw considerable chop, with a little cooling into the close. Volatility was subdued, the VIX settling -2.2% to 16.11. The s/t setup favours the equity bears, not least for a Thursday, but ahead of a long weekend, the bears can't expect much.
