Those who were looking to pick up gold and silver on the cheap at the Comex option expiry ambush were left standing on the platform as the precious metals train left the station yesterday.
So what next? Expiration is tomorrow and the in-the-money calls will be rewarded with new futures positions. I have seen plenty of instances where the wiseguys ran the stops on those metal futures on the day after expiration. The US also has a GDP number coming out that day. So I would not consider the metals group 'safe' yet.
I do think that we are gearing up for quite a run in September, but we'll be keeping one eye on the equity market and the other on the Fed.

"Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
John 8:43-44
