Overnight we saw US stocks experience a choppy session swinging between positive and negative territory with the latter ultimately winning under the weight of external pressures plus nerves ahead of this Thursday’s inflation print.

- We still believe US stocks will test their August highs into Christmas but it’s likely to be a volatile journey i.e. current upside of 15-20%.
