Markets Are Drifting Higher Again

First, all through the debt ceiling standoff the market barely dropped.

Then there was no "sell the news" event after a deal was reached, as the S&P 500 hit a brand new all-time high yesterday.

And now the stock market is drifting higher again.

Granted it's pretty modest. But still, the rush of demand for US equities is something to behold.

The rest of the world's markets, from Japan to China to Europe aren't really doing much at all.

Gold, which surged yesterday, is basically flat so far.
