12pm update - time for a game

US equities continue to see minor chop, and that could easily remain the case for the rest of this short 3.5 day trading week. Metals are slightly higher, Gold +$2, whilst Oil is slipping, -0.5%. Far more important though.. its time for another game.. France vs Nigeria.

Summary

Well, minor index chop..and I most certainly welcome the first of today's two world cup games. It makes for a good distraction from the end month tedium of the casino.
