Summary

closing hour action: micro chop, if leaning upward. S/t momentum ticked upward, if settling fractionally negative.

… and that concludes another sleepy day in equity land. Vol’ remains distinctly light, as many appear content to take an extended vacation into early January.

Yours truly shall remain focused on my sanctuary… gold/miners, and get involved on any cooling waves into/across Q1.


notable bond yield proxy: TNX, daily

A new cycle low of 3.78%, as 3.25% isn’t that far away… maybe February?

Lower yields > higher bonds.

A day of rainy grey horror, although the cloud did thin, with a very hazy full moon. Have a good evening
