12pm update - building strong gains

US equities are building rather strong gains, with the sp'500 +1.4% @ 2116, a mere 0.5% from breaking new historic highs. Metals are moderately higher, Gold +$4.. but looking very vulnerable next week. Oil has seen another strong swing... from -0.8% to +1.0%

Summary

Not much to add.

The gains are arguably too powerful for anyone to consider this part of a mere bounce. Market looks set to battle higher into next week.. and probably into the next FOMC of June 17'th.

I am increasingly having thoughts about a re-short in the metals...

GLD, 15min


As ever.. a reasonable time to get involved might be the 2pm hour... and holding across the weekend.

12.10pm ... Am now SHORT GLD... from 114.05... will hold across the weekend.

12.31pm.. sp'2115.... with Nasdaq comp' 5K.  Again... if Nasdaq can get a monthly close in the 5200s, it'd bode for further upside of another 5-10%
