The New year started but seems that some trades are still away from the markets as volume is still considerably lower than average. Today’s trading in mini SP is a good example, choppy trade, less than 1.4 Mil contracts and market end up pretty much unchanged….
I am including a daily chart of the mini SP 500 for your review. I suspect that more volume and volatility will return to the markets in the next few days.
