As you may know by now, there was the usual tweetfest out of Osaka over the weekend and an apparent thawing in the deadlock in discussions between the US and China.

Stock futures soared, and the risk on trades were unleashed. The US Dollar rose triumphantly against most major currencies.

And in that process, gold and silver were trounced.

Well, there was a certain amount of tension built up in the market, and a reversal of recent trends was not unexpected, given the willing stimulus of Trumpolini's declaration of yet another miracle of his personal diplomacy.

The stock rocket faded badly into the afternoon but managed to recover a little bit into the close. Still, it was an impressive display.

There will be a Non-Farm Payrolls report on Friday.

As you may have noticed in the news, or not, despite this wonderful abundant economy, the number of suicides in the US are at a record pace not seen since World War II.

But there is joy amongst the elite and within the halls of power. At least for now. 

What will they think of next?

Have a pleasant evening.
