Early rotation to tech:

Further upside move in the markets clearly shown by advancers expanding from 57,318 to 176,522 in CBOE put/call data. Looking for pullbacks this week in tech/retail related themes.

Coming into September, I was looking for further upside move in the VIX - but volatility has been tame in this upside move.

Clearly, the fed speak day will offer further uncertainty and volatility. A decline in VIX from 14-11 is visible in near-term charts.

CHART: Last week clearly tech rally continues exhibited by acceleration in semis. OSX - sluggish performance continues and this inverse correlation is shown in the above charts.
Rotation into tech out of commodity related names.

Decline in crude: a theme which has worked and due for a near-term recovery.
