Stocks And Precious Metals Charts - Program Selling

The U.S. Dollar surged on safe-haven demand while equities showed high volatility, reflecting deep geopolitical anxieties.

And the war progresses the antics on the risk markets gets more interesting and volatile.

Today the stocks they pumped up yesterday dropped quite a bit in the early trade.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

And they took back quite a few of those losses as the day wore on.

Gold and silver were hammered pretty hard, almost to a comical degree.  Maybe they are trying to get their Non-Farm Payroll jollies out of the way early this week.

That was program selling without regard to pricing and market equilibrium IMHO.  They were probably cleaning out stop-loss orders, and giving themselves a chance to square up their own naked short positions.

Ok, let's see where we go from here.

Uncle Buck caught a flight to safety bid today.

VIX spiked and then dropped.

I have not been catching any details on the Asian gold trade so far this week.  I'll have to make time to look since the guy I usually follow has been on my 'timeline' on X.  Did I use that term right?  lol

This war is going to be getting very, very messy as time goes on.  

Have a pleasant evening.
