ISM was better than expected. Inventories lower, new orders ripped higher, and employment ticked up. Thats likely driving equities as people might see the stimulus working in that release

So, the ADP data meant nothing? The fact that debt/GDP is going up instead of down means equities should rally because why not...money is flowing again? We are setting ourselves up for a BIG fall.

CDS is quiet today...its likely IG12 is moving higher on very little trading.

Can you exlplain what IG12 is and why it's relevant? If CDS trade up that means that the % you must pay to insure against default is rising, right? So perhaps CDS rising is just due to the closing of the negative basis as leverage comes back to the investment community.
