Greg Peel is scheduled to return after Australia Day.

Equities in the US managed to avoid further losses on Friday, with exception of the Dow Industrials, after a rather lacklustre session.

SPI futures on Saturday were indicating the local market stands ready to recover a little more of early 2022 losses with likely ongoing bias for bulks, metals and energy producers.

Friday in Australia delivered a good old let's-sell-before-the-weekend session, and it got pretty ugly towards the end.

Corporate results season is starting to open up in America, but this week starts on Tuesday in the US as the third week in January is reserved to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr whose birthday is on January 15th.

Hence global equities will have to seek direction today without any real-time guidance from US stocks and/or treasuries.

With the world's number one male tennis champion now out of the country, maybe investors can start concentrating on the ASX again, stomach churning experiences not excluded as money continues to abandon previously high-flying new economy stocks.

Ups and downs, it's what maketh the market, during good times, and the less-than-great times. Cool heads will prevail. Patience is a virtue.
