Let's see if Trump can bring Netanyahu into the fold.  Dare he bring speak to him publicly as he has done to Zelensky?

The Dollar continued to slide.

Gold was held in check, but silver managed to take and hold a gain.

VIX is now at a recent low.  Not quite complacent, but relatively sans souci given the gravity of the situation and the state of the rapidly deteriorating global economy.

Need little, want less, love more.  For those who abide in love abide in God, and God in them.

Have a pleasant weekend.
