“Thus, it should be understood that when pro-US figures use the term, 'rules-based international order,' they are not referring to anything analogous to the rule of law. Quite the opposite, they are using Orwellian language to describe a system in which essentially no rules can be established and/or observed, given that the dominant state has the prerogative to violate and/or rewrite “rules” at its whim.” Aaron Good, American Exception
Gold and silver paused today, consolidating their recent gains.
Stocks seem to be doing the same thing, and even gaining a bit of ground.
But some selling crept in during the late afternoon.
And the selling started to accelerate in the last hour, with stocks going out on the lows.
Stock option expiration on Friday.
Have a pleasant evening.
