Stocks rose today, purportedly in response to a less bad-than-expected unemployment report.

And more impressively, they managed to go out near their highs. No pop and flop today.

We won't be getting any significant economic data until the PPI and CPI next week.

Gold and silver rallied sharply, coming back to their rising trends.

The Dollar chopped sideways with a notable spike higher midday.

VIX continued to fall.

The world is waiting to see what comes next in the regional conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Mideast.

Dancing on a volcano, in the service of money and power.

Have a pleasant evening.
