Economic Releases
10:30 am EST
- Bloomberg consensus estimates call for a weekly crude drawdown of 500,000 barrels. Gasoline supplies are expected to remain unchanged. Distillate inventories are expected to rise 1,500,000 barrels. Finally, Refinery Utilization is expected to rise .5%.

BOTTOM LINE: Asian indices are mixed, as gains in automakers are offsetting losses in financial stocks in the region. I expect US equities to open modestly lower and to rally into the afternoon, finishing modestly higher. The Portfolio is 100% net long heading into the day.
