The higher open to start the week was over the highs from last week, but gave most back by the afternoon close. A push over 18.24 would probably see a test of the 20 psychological level pretty fast afterwards. Meandering until it's not.

Stock futures are weak this morning despite some pleasing earnings and/or guidance from the likes of McDonald's (MCD), PepsiCo (PEP), and General Motors (GM). Strength from these names has not been enough to offset the fallout in First Republic Bank (FRC). FRC's earnings report brought worries about the bank industry back to the forefront, along with Standard Chartered CEO's warning that the banking sector may have other issues that could "come home to roost in some form of a crisis,” according to CNBC.
Tempered sales guidance from UPS, which it attributed in part to changing consumer behavior, has also contributed to this morning's negative disposition by fostering concerns about broader economic growth and earnings prospects.
The 2-yr note yield is down seven basis points to 4.07% and the 10-yr note yield is down seven basis points to 3.45%.
