Saturday Trades Thursday Update 4/17/2025

Markets mixed after Wednesday’s beating

Saturday Call registration, pregame starts at 9:00 EST

Markets mixed, Dow lower, Nasdaq, S+P and Russell higher. Gold is slightly lower after yesterday’s explosion. Today is the last day of the week with the Good Friday Holiday tomorrow.

The action has been quiet although movement has been big. We could see a rally today but no reason to be involved unless there is something to do.
