It was a fairly quiet triple witch option expiration, perhaps so because all the fireworks had already taken place with so many economic events earlier this week and last.

Gold and silver were so steady in the early morning that I wondered if we should request a wellness visit for the Wall Street wiseguys.

But never fear, the Dollar rallied, and gold and silver retreated. 

Stocks also did a bit of reversal, with Big Tech leading a small rally higher, while the broader Russell 2000 slumped a bit.

Wash and rinse, fait accompli.

We'll always have next week.

Our hypocrisy seems to have no bounds.

Trading should be thinning out steadily now as we coast into the year end, and the holiday season.

But one always must keep an eye on exogenous events, too big to paper over.

Have a very pleasant weekend.
