TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
The first move after the 8:30 CT bell was a quick pop up to 2831.00 to test the Globex high, followed by a dip down 2817.50. From there, the futures took another shot at the highs, but fell short, and double topped at 2828.50. After that, the ES spent the rest of the morning selling off, printing a low 2791.50 just before 11:00 CT. It was a relentless selloff with very few pullbacks.
As European markets closed, the ES began to recover, and by noon had traded back up to 2806.00. The strength continued well into the afternoon, and the futures eventually rallied to 2814.75. As the final hour rolled around, the ES began to fall back a little, trading down to 2806.50, but buy imbalances began to show up around 2:30, helping push the futures up to 2816.25.
