It's a nice risk-on day to wrap up the Asian trading week and there aren't really any caveats in the price action as all the risk-positive moves are unfolding in the textbook way.

There are also those looking to buy dips in risk assets and some real strength in China today is adding to the enthusiasm. So far, the moves in FX are modest outside some decent yen selling. Headlines out of Tokyo so far today have been minimal.

The problem here is that you can't have gold rising on tariff worries rising and stocks climbing on tariff worries receding. Eventually that will have to unwind but at the momentum, $3000 is such a magnet.

Have a great weekend, Eamonn will be back to start the new week.
