Stocks And Precious Metals Charts - Risk On - Sitting On Top Of The World

Stocks were relatively fearless from the opening and yearned to rise higher for most of the day, ahead of the beginning of latest round of earnings announcements which begins shortly.

Gold and silver were smacked lower as safe havens and risk avoidance became unfashionable, at least temporarily. There is also a tradition of smacking the metals the next trading day after a Non-Farm Payrolls report if they had been relatively unscathed on the day itself.

On a positive not I have to say that the NFL playoff games have been unusually engaging so far.

Have a pleasant evening.
