12pm update – lunchtime chop

US equities are battling to build moderate gains, although the market will be increasingly inclined for considerable chop ahead of Wed’ 2pm. VIX has been ground into the 19s, as the mainstream cheerleaders believe in the soft landing. Gold has printed $1945… from an early 1915.

Summary

Whilst I’m open to another swing lower – not least on tomorrow’s 2pm press release from Print Central, I don’t expect anything sustained <4K. Instead… the upper 4100s appear due.

I just wonder if Gold will get whacked lower tomorrow or Thursday, on multiple central bank rate hikes, or instead jump to near 2K. I remain… watching.
