EARLY CHECK

Equity futures getting hammered again this morning after the SPX lost 15 points yesterday to close at 1095 with an RSI 2 reading of 15.

One of the reasons equities are down is the rip in the dollar which is up about .7% almost hitting the 76 level.

Gold is down about $7 at $1138 while silver is down about 2% at $18.2.

The VIX not giving much of a buy signal as it is still trading under the SMA 10 at 22.63.

BESPOKE with some GOLD observations;

And another business news choice for those in the NY metro area- suburbs not NYC;
