OPEX Pins a Bounce the Bond Market Won't Confirm: Gold at $4,672 as VIX Slips Under 16
The S&P 500 is near 7,681, up about 0.5%, with VIX back under 16 on OPEX Friday — but the 10-year is still 4.73% and gold futures are at $4,672. Flash services PMI hit a 20-month high. Crypto and value retail are carrying the bounce; duration is not.
