Gold up on weaker $, nice golden smile you have there jaDEB ;D, made me think of this: “Gold is a way of going long on fear, and it has been a pretty good way of going long on fear from time to time. But you really have to hope people become more afraid in a year or two years than they are now. And if they become more afraid you make money, if they become less afraid you lose money, but the gold itself doesn’t produce anything.”  ― Warren Buffett

Anyways, Asia all green, IGM T40 +189, US futures up, US existing home sales @ 16:00.

Bernanke kept the door open for tapering as you've indicated Moonraker, but said it is data-dependent and nothing is 'cast in stone'.  Still, most analysts think the Fed will begin to taper in September - December this year, nothing else for us to do but to eco data watch, wait and see.

US ended green, Asia mixed this morning with Nikkei up 1.33%, US futures dipped into red, SA T40 -88 atm.

14:30 Initial jobless US

Local news:  AIA Group Ltd. ("AIA") and Discovery Ltd. ("Discovery") announced a strategic joint venture to introduce Discovery's successful wellness-based life insurance model to the Asia-Pacific region.

I would suggest that you delete this trade. It is an unrealistic trade.

Why delete? :) If it has staying power so be it, if not, it will fade all by itself.

How do you guys think we look in the near future?

I have this feeling that we are safe for now until next year.

Chinese GDP was off a tad QoQ by 0.1% but YoY still the same at 7.5% which markets seem to choose to focus on for now. 

Europe up, US futures up.

US retail sales at 14:30, IGM T40 @ +345 atm.
