Russell 2000 Doesn’t Take The Bait
Some light selling across Large Caps and Tech indices meant there was little of interest for today’s action. The only action of note came in the Russell 2000. After inching towards ‘bull flag’ resistance the Russell 2000 took a leaf out of the sellers book and reversed back towards ‘bull flag’ support. It’s looking vulnerable […]

Gold Prices Still At The Mercy Of US Tax Cut Prospects
Gold prices turned lower as the US Dollar mounted a recovery from the previous day’s losses, undermining the appeal of anti-fiat assets. From here, a lull in top-tier data flow keeps the focus on prospects for passing a US tax cut reform. That puts the yellow metal at the mercy of incoming headlines as investors await the release of the […]
