Stocks slumped in this first trading day of the Christmas holiday week.

Chalk up another leg down, from the howler of a failed rally on the 'CPI news' last week.

Trading was light and a bit lackluster. I suspect many of the adults have already taken their gains for the year and gone on an extended holiday vacation.

Is Santa going to be a walkabout on Wall Street this year?

Almost a quarter million ounces of gold bullion went walkabout from the Comex-certified warehouses in Hong Kong. 

The Dollar went sideways.

Gold and silver slipped a bit lower.

The stock bulls would like to find a footing and drift a little higher this week. 

Let's see if reality meets their expectations.

Have a pleasant evening.
