Stock market is expected to open higher tomorrow as its ECB fine tuning day. There is no Fed Pomo operation which leaves ECB to do the job alone of keeping this market higher. Gold and silver continues to sell off as market has decided to clear the second fear trade. Gold was consider safe haven and alternative to vix or fear trade. Vix has been demolished and now its Gold turns. US dollar index was down today and Gold was down which doesnt make sense. Like, I have been saying, this market will not correct unless it open and closes in red on Tuesday and Friday. So tomorrow, will be first test whether this market will correct or today's sell off was just a bull trap.
I'll be trading JNJ, GS, JCP, INFY, PBY, ECTY.
