US equity indexes are moderately higher, with the sp'500 just 0.1% away from breaking above yesterdays new high of 2134. Price action remains bullish, if somewhat choppy.. ahead of the long 3 day holiday weekend. Metals remain weak, Gold -$6. Oil is holding powerful gains of 3.6% in the $60s.

Summary
*Gold remains close to losing the $1200 threshold... certainly, price action favours the bears into the Friday close.

Without question, this is one hell of a complacent market, not least as Greece continues to teeter on the edge.

*as noted by Mr T earlier, there are certainly some who are picking up VIX crash-protection.
