Good MorningThe equity markets tread water at near-term highs on Wednesday as the market digested new comments from the FOMC. Fed members raised concerns about economic uncertainty despite recent advances in trade relations. The comments are not unwarranted but have yet to be backed up by economic data, which remains spotty but bullish on balance. The market mover on Thursday will be the retail sales report, which is expected to show sales growing but at a slower pace than in the previous month.
An earnings report from Walmart will also be a market-moving event on Thursday. The report is expected to show steady growth, resilient margins, and a generally healthy consumer. The risk is that Walmart will lower its guidance or reveal other weaknesses in its consumer business. If so, the rebound in equities may end soon.

| From Our Partners | | Ross Givens, Director of Research at Traders Agency, is calling for gold to reach $10,000 an ounce this supercycle - and says that may be conservative.

But the bigger opportunity may not be gold itself. A 'backdoor' gold-linked asset has historically multiplied gold's move by 10x or more - returning 846%, 1,668%, 1,847%, and 1,915% in the last supercycle. | | Watch the free video briefing and learn the No. 1 trade to leverage rising gold |
