Stocks were drifting higher on light volumes, in quiet pre-holiday trading.

It is most likely that the trading tomorrow will be light, with some tape-painting, and squaring of positions into the holiday weekend. The market will be open for half a day on Friday, but the adults will all be on holiday.

Gold and silver were hit a bit, and so was the Dollar, which slipped off the 100 handle.

VIX fell back to its 50 DMA. It may fall a bit further before the correction resumes.

Have a warm and safe holiday with friends and family.

And for the rest of the world, please carry on without us, and have a very pleasant evening.
