A bad credit score can be quite the hardship in America. But can you imagine a bad social credit score? China is implementing social credit scores that will influence the types of schooling, jobs, and housing available to citizens.

The Trend Retains the Name

The pattern continues in Gold, with last week's move reaffirming the wave count Enda is using below. Friday's rally puts the market right above the high on the 30 minute chart established in the previous "5". The next  "1" would be completed if gold pierced the $1271.21 level. After that, any retracement that holds $1259.78 further confirms a wave  seeking final extensions to the $1550 area. A drop below $1247 at this point puts into  question the pattern, but does not negate it.

For weeks I’ve been noting that stocks are being driven by a market rig.

By way of review, that rig is as follows:

1)   Someone slams the VIX lower.

2)   This forces risk-parity funds to buy stocks, usually the FANGs or large-cap Tech names (Facebook, Apple, Netflix, Google).

3)   FANGs rally, which due to the weighting in the S&P 500, forces the overall market higher.

The last point is key.
