11am update – weak leaning chop

US equities remain in minor chop mode, if leaning on the weaker side. USD is -0.3% at 95.71… which is helping prop most things up.

Summary

Certainly… it doesn’t even rate as moderate, but at least we have slightly more dynamic price action than yesterday. Hopefully, we’ll see a late day washout, although even the 4730s look a stretch. The more cautious will be waiting until around 4700.

notable stock: TWTR

Its been a difficult year for Twitter… set to end on a weak note. 2022 threatens major problems, not least via Trump’s Truth Social. Whilst that platform will likely be as much a train wreck and cesspool as Twitter, the point stands… tens of millions are likely waiting to switch.

notable horror: PTON

Yesterday saw a bounce… but normal service has resumed. A more natural floor is the 31/psy’30 zone.
