Gold and silver rallied sharply, but the prices were steadily pushed lower into the close.

Stocks struggled with a large decline, but gained back some ground in the afternoon.

See a trend here?   

VIX wallows.

The inventory of physical gold bullion in Hong Kong has fallen to a low that I cannot remember seeing in all the years I have been following this.

It is running a fine line on a failure to deliver. It appears that the customers are willing to work with them on their limitations to supply demand at these prices, for now.

Stock option expiration on Friday.

Comex expiration next week.

Will Wall Street be hoisted on its own pétard?

Have a pleasant evening.
