11am update – morning chop

US equity indexes are a little mixed, with strength in the Dow (helped via Boeing), and a little weakness in the Nasdaq (partly the stay at home stocks selling off). VIX continues to churn the 22/21s.

Summary

Suffice to add… the chop continues, and it could simply remain that way into Friday-OPEX.


notable bond ETF: TLT

Yields cooling back some more.  There is a Fed meeting Dec’15/16, and I guess its still possible we’ll see something extra like ‘yield curve controls’.

notable stock: BAC

Note the June high of $28.81. If that can be cleared… then it bodes strongly into early 2021. JPM has already managed this.

notable weakness: NIO

Yesterday’s black candle played out. Earnings were ‘reasonable’, but I’d certainly lean to GM, F, or even TSLA.

Time for lunch…
