Gold and silver moved higher today, along with the Dollar which gained back a little of yesterday's loss.
Stocks came in much lower this morning.
And I was carrying an overnight short in the small caps, which I covered before I left around lunchtime.
Stocks managed to drift higher, to finish up on the cash market and almost unchanged in the futures after a big after hours pop last night.
Next week is August and with that comes the Non-Farm Payrolls Report for July.
The 'risk on' attitude for today seems like bravado.
Eyes are on Washington and the expiration of the unemployment benefit kick.
Have a pleasant weekend.
