Summary
*Leading indicators: -1.2% vs -0.5% (prior rev’)… just another data point warning of a slowdown.
The daily 10Ma is around 4129. Bears need to take it out… preferably with a weekly settlement around 4100, which would make for a net weekly decline, and offer 4030/4k next week.

notable strength: LVS
Earnings were far better than expected… especially helped by a loosening up of C19 restrictions in China.

Very powerfully lower… and should settle this way.
Time for lunch…
