Stocks and Precious Metals Charts - Stock Option Expiration Next Week

Stocks shook off geopolitical and economic concerns and moved higher.

But they ran out of gas towards the end of the day and gave back some of their gains.

Was this just a bounce, or the beginning of a turnaround?

Stay tuned and we'll see tomorrow.

Gold and silver managed to post some gains and hold on to them.

Silver is now back to even on the week.

The VIX fell back a bit.

But the dollar pushed higher toward the 100 handle on the DXY index.

Next week things could be a little more lively because we start to get earnings numbers for the first quarter, and there is a stock option expiration on Friday.

But first, let's see how the markets go into the weekend.

Have a pleasant evening.
