Stocks closed marginally higher yesterday and rates as well as FX stabilized but risk of increased volatility remains. US 10 Year yields are at 3.43, EURUSD hovers below parity at 0.9960, GBPUSD 1.1510 and USDJPY 143.66. Gold is near support at 1688 and Silver 19.44. Oil remains fairly high at 88.63

With 7 days left to the FOMC Rate decision and 31% probability of a 1% hike, nerves are a bit raw. The USD Index has gained app 15% this year and seems not to stop yet.

Technically Equities as look in a dangerous place.
