Stocks And Precious Metals Charts - Risk On: In The Key Of Incoherent - Stock Option Expiration On Friday

The retail sales number for January came in much better than expected.

No one paid much attention to the downward revision to the prior month's horrible numbers.

And so safe havens were abandoned and stocks went on a tear.

Gold, silver, and the Dollar were all lower.

There will be a stock market expiration for March on Friday. As I recall this is a consequential expiry.

Perhaps we have a wash and rinse in the making. The skeptical side of me looks at the slowing global economy and says, 'yeah, most likely.'

Have a pleasant evening.
