It's The Economy Stupid: Market Close

TGIF!  Well, it’s my Friday.

 

The stock market eked out a close on the upside.   Crude was down, Gold was down, Dollar was higher, and Bonds were all over the place today.  That about sums it up, not much more to say.  Oh, yeah, we didn’t launch any missiles today.  Yet.
