 Good morning, everyone, Basel Chapman here. This is the 9 o'clock Tiger Financial News Network market update on this Friday, the 12th of April. We're looking at the Dow down 300 points. At 38,435, the Dow has been in a cell mode for a couple of weeks. The S&P, let's go to the futures. The S&P futures are down 43 at 5200. They are in a cell signal at this point, but we'll have to wait for the end of the day to see if they get upgraded, or there's a sudden turn. The QQQ, let's go to the NQ. The NQ is trading down 18305. Held pretty well so far. I'm watching that 18000 level. If it closes under that, by Monday, that's a problem. Weekly charts are still very good. RTY, which is the Russell 2000 futures in a cell mode right now. It's down 18 at 2039. Let's go to the gold. Gold is up huge. It's up 43 at 2416. I've been talking about this for a while, saying I believe this has to do more with the Middle East than anything else. That's the flight of money that goes to gold in times of geopolitical tension. I got a feeling that this is a big part of it. That's why you haven't had any real pullback. Real pullback has been no pullback in the gold. Looking at crude oil, that's another issue. Also the Middle East problem. We've got $1.84 up at 86.62. It looks like it really wants to get to the 88.89 area. Looking at the bonds, and he has another issue. Bonds are actually up 2830 seconds today, but while the damage has already been done, it's been a straight line down to 116. We'll see where this balance goes to. This is due to the VIX index before we get started. I'm going to be doing Tommy's show before he comes back. Today I'm doing the morning market kickoff. That'll be at 906. I'll be right back for that. The VIX index is at 16.99. The high yesterday was up in the 17s. But what's happened is that the VIX index has had steadily, not incrementally, but a stair step move to the upside with higher highs and higher lows. Will that stay through the rest of the day? And we're watching the semiconductor index. I'll be back. Basel Chapman coming in from the 9 o'clock. I'll be here from 9 to 11 if the voice holds out. Of course, Larry right now is about to start his show. Should be fantastic. Not his show. His day is intraday trading live. And I hope to be there in a little
