- Meanwhile Consumer Staples sector lead by distribution and retail names: Target trading +4.4% (vs. +11% pre-open) after beating profit estimates this morning, net income of $835M, $1.80 a share, from $183M prior. Sysco climbed 2.53%, Dollar General +1.9%.

Media and entertainment subsectors weighed on Comm Services: Match -1.47$, Paramount -1.45% lead laggers.
- A bearish theme in the E-mini S&P contract remains intact and this week’s move lower has reinforced current conditions. The contract is through the 50-day EMA and has breached channel support drawn from the Mar 13 low - the channel base is at 4461.67. A clear breakout would signal scope for a continuation lower and open 4411.25, the Jul 10 low. Initial resistance to watch is at the 20-day EMA - at 4515.45.
