BUT.. it wasn't really earth directed. So they are saying a possible 'glancing blow' tonight I suppose..
It is interesting how the planetary alignments seem to cause a CME. But it is not guaranteed the CME will hit the earth, and also not a guarantee it has an adverse effect on the market.
I will continue to track this 'stuff'. But I do not recommend any trades off it (since I don't).
AURORA WATCH: A coronal mass ejection launched from the sun's eastern limb on May 9th could deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field today. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of geomagnetic activity if and when the CME arrives. High-latitude sky watchers, be alert for auroras.
