SP 500 and NDX Futures Daily Charts - And the Winner Is...

Not us.

Have a pleasant evening.

As a Reminder, Today Is a Precious Metals Option Expiration on the Comex

I ought to have reminded you again last night about this one in case you had forgotten.

Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - Flight to Safety, Bread and Circuses

It was 'risk off' today, led by jitters about the worsening situation with the global banks, led by Deutsche Bank.

As such, stocks sold off and Treasuries and gold rallied.

Interesting that both gold and the US dollar sold off today as well.

The 'big debate' is tonight.  Ugh.

Have a pleasant evening.

SP 500 and NDX Futures Daily Charts - Risk Off

Today was a risk off day in the markets as the speculators were selling stocks and buying Treasuries as a proxy for the Douleur du Monde.

Or perhaps more precisely, they were selling its counterweighted currencies in the DX index.

The 'big debate' is tonight.

No debate on what we will be watching here, especially with the queen visiting with friends and relations from North Carolina and Maryland.

The new season of Gotham is all that we have waited for in action drama, and The Big Bang Theory is always a hoot.   And for the young man, there is Monday Night Football.  lol

We don't need to watch the lesser of two evils, and their race to the bottom of the barrel.

Have a pleasant evening.
