The markets gapped up and the ES gave us a clean gap fill early. NASDAQ side never quite filled, and then the markets spiked up on the Fed before retreating to middle range for the last hour of play. NASDAQ volume closed weak at 1.65 billion shares. Tomorrow is end of month in the summer, so might not be too exciting. Note that the ES closed on the VWAP within a tick.

Net ticks: +5.5 ticks.
