US500 - Record Highs Built on a Deal That Has Not Happened Yet

Reuters sources say key details are unresolved, and Houthi forces claimed an attack on a Saudi tanker. The index has now paused near 7,730. Tomorrow's US jobs report is the next test.

Instead, cheaper oil means lower inflation, and lower inflation means less pressure on the Fed to raise rates. Friday's US jobs report is the real test.
