No wait! That was me buying the S&P futures!
Seriously though, it felt to me today that they tried this at various intervals all day long and were unable to achieve the desired result.
The SM is in serious trouble IMHO. They may buy the futures tonight to try and goose the SM in the am, but I’m not sure they’ll be able to hold it. The sellers seem to be overwhelming them.
Another $10 up in gold tonight would be nice to see.
