Waller

September E-mini S&P 500 Index futures are trying to extend their advance after moving above a key short-term pivot. Traders are watching the payrolls report, Treasury yield reaction and thin pre-holiday liquidity for confirmation or reversal risk.

Silver advanced sharply after confirming a closing price reversal bottom, with XAG/USD moving into a key retracement area watched by technical traders. Fed commentary from Waller and Williams weakened the September rate hike trade, while resistance at $68.17 remains the pivotal level for near term direction.
