EQUITIES
  • Equities undergo a bout of weakness in recent trade, putting the e-mini S&P at new pullback lows, helping put some weight through USD/JPY, which similarly touches the lowest levels of the day.
  • No specific headline flow or news to drive the move - last headlines on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz don't quite match up as the driver - and wasn't particularly new news.
  • Largest sell program of the day goes through via the NYSE's TICK index, with a net of 864 names sold at 1030ET/1530BST - likely the primary driver for equities here
