S&P 500 unchanged

An early gain in US stocks has fizzled with the index now trading unchanged.

I don't anticipate drama in broad markets today and see little risk of any kind of sharp selloff here. It's not a particularly high-energy day in markets.

The spot to watch is GBP today with parliament holding an emergency debate on no-deal Brexit preparations. There will also be a vote on an election that will almost surely be voted down.

After this, parliament will be suspended for five weeks.
