SP500.

Major resistance proved too much for the SP500.

Despite the fall, the short-term trend remains up.  The index finished at the short-term line (about 3-Day MA).  Nearby support lies at minor horizontal support of 4650 and the 8-Day EMA.  If those hold and we get a bounce, then another test of major resistance is likely.

Commodities Index -1.52%.  Energy -1.91%.  Base Metals -0.71%.  Gold -0.61%

BHP was down in both the UK and US but holding above the 200-Day MA.  Rio was up in both the UK and US.
