US Stocks Shake Off Soft Start

EQUITIES
  • Equity markets started the session poorly, with cash indices opening modestly lower at the Wall Street opening bell. This weakness was erased as the session progressed, helping the S&P 500 inch back into positive territory.
  • Energy names were the main prop, as a WTI oil price nudging the recent cycle highs helped support explorers and refiners. Industrials and financials also lent support while communication services were the largest decliner.
  • The VIX initially saw some support on early equity weakness, buit the VIX retreated as the session progressed, keeping the index within range of the post-pandemic lows of 14.1 points printed yesterday.
