Summary

Special note…

My server/site appear to have been having issues due to Fastly (FSLY). Things are recovering… not just for yours truly, but across the planet.

It is another reminder of the absolutely fragile internet that we have. With just a minor server/software update, a single site can take down literal MILLIONS of sites, Its absolute… MADNESS!

As for equities…

Yesterday settled fractionally weak, although s/t momentum did manage to tick upward, settling fractionally positive.

Overnight futures have been subdued. We’re currently due to open fractionally positive.

It won’t take much – a mere 12pts, to test the recent historic high. If Mr Market wants to confuse/annoy the most, it will open positive, but then reverse lower.
