Brian's Wednesday recap: 9-handle gap fill ... thanks, T+3!

After the open the SPM downticked and then traded up to the 1549 area, sold off down to the 1547 area, bounced and then made a new low at 1546. A few minutes later it was trading the 1551 area and then up to the 1552.50 area. After another small, low-volume pullback the SPM rallied up to a new high at 1553.70 at 10:21.

With most of the selling used up on the 9-handle-lower open and a slight pullback, the ESM went into "short cover" mode and ran buy stops and buy programs to push the futures back up to just 5 handles off the 1558.50 "double top." After another brief pullback the SPM made another new high up at 1554.50. The same price action pushed the SPM up to a new high at 1555.50 and then up to 1556.50 at 1:00 CT. With the exception of Monday's selloff, T+3 has been hard at work all week. Going into 2:30 the SPM ran another buy program that pushed it all the way up to 1558.30, up 10 cents on the day. The SPM was trading the 1557.50 area when the 2:45 cash imbalance showed MOC sell $580mil. On the 3:00 cash close the SPM traded 1557 area and then went on to settle at 1557.20 on the 3:15 futures close, down .40 handle on the day. Can you say T+3?_______________________________________________________________
