  • S&P futures down 0.4% after US equities finished mostly higher last week with upside leadership from cyclicals with banks, industrial metals, transports and machinery among the standouts. 
  • This will be the only note published today so I jammed a lot of charts on the note
  • I included some great commentary by friend Dean Curnutt of Macro Risk Advisors
  • Asian markets mostly lower overnight with Japan the big decliner, off more than 1.5% and down for a third straight session. 
  • European markets weaker. 
  • Treasuries firmer across the curve with 10-year yields at 1.25%. 
  • Dollar weaker vs yen but firmer vs euro.
