“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
It was a ranging day in what seemed likely to be a 'technical trade.'
The financiers, flush with cash, felt like having a wash and rinse just to start the second half right.
Gold finished up, silver was lower.
Broader stocks were lower, but big cap techs managed to hold a decent gain.
The specs were likely whipsawed, by design.
Welcome to Thunderdome.
Have a pleasant evening.
