Gold and silver were lower today as the Dollar regained some strength within its recent trading range.

It may be cynical, but I also expected gold futures to take a gut check after the recent expiration. And there it is.

Stocks were marginally higher on a renewed appetite for risk, although they gave up much of their gains into the close.

I did not have the opportunity to watch the confirmation hearings on television today, which seemed to occupy most channels. 

We will be seeing a Non-Farm Payrolls report for September next Friday, as well as the ISM Manufacturing and Service numbers.

Have a pleasant evening.
