The collision of global markets and social mood

Wednesday -- Pretty Quiet

S&P E-mini Futures:
Down in yet more choppy trade.

Markets:
Asia and Europe mixed.

Mood:
Reuters: "United won't use police to remove overbooked passengers" -CEO

Someone needs a crash course in PR training.

FX:
Yet another quiet day except for NZD notably weaker. Slight strength in CHF & JPY.

Treasuries:
We have a winner. 30s beat the rest of the curve above the April 7th swing point while 2s have the most work to do. That's a flattening yield curve.

Energy:
WTI crude continuing its rally along with NG.

Metals:
Gold closed above Friday's 1273.30 swing point but is slowing its ascent along with silver, while platinum, palladium, and copper are down.

S&P Outlook:
SPX and NDX tested the 2340 and 5380 areas mentioned last Friday. Long XIV with a stop at 63.52.

The onus is on the bulls now for a rally above 2366.37 and 5442.71.

2322.25 and 5316.02 must hold for this scenario. If the rally fizzles, these are likely immediate targets.

Possible pre-holiday positive bias. (Markets closed on Good Friday.)
