] shot higher due to an attack on a pipeline in Nigeria.
However, the major tailwind came from the successful auction of Treasuries. You could almost hear a collective sigh of relief sweep across Wall Street after Thursday’s auction, which ended a week long sale totaling a record setting $104 billion in debt.
How should you be positioned?
Instant Insights with the Fast Money Traders
Strong buying for Treasurys is a very good thing, muses Patricia Edwards of Storehouse. If there are people buying Treasurys then stocks are probably not heading down south.
In fact, all the auctions this week have gone off extremely well, adds Dennis Gartman of the Gartman Letter. That’s also a good thing for interest rates – especially mortgages.
It was $104 billion in debt, reminds Jon Najarian. That’s an enormous number and I think the market is quite relieved the auctions are now behind us. In fact you can see that relief in the Vix [VIX

CRUDE ABOVE $70

What’s the oil trade?
If prices at the pump continue higher I think it hits the consumer pretty hard, muses Patty Edwards. I’d play it with the discount retailers such as Wal-Mart [WMT

TAKE YOUR POSITION: PALM AFTER THE BELL

This stock has been on a wild ride since January, and on Thursday investors will learn whether they're aboard a rocket to the moon, or a nuclear missile ready to explode
The Street anticipates a loss of 64 cents on $79 million in revenue for Palm's fourth fiscal quarter.
What’s the trade?
I think if you can buy Palm around $12 it’s a buy, counsels Jon Najarian.
If Palm closes above $14.50 I might get involved, adds Jeff Tomasulo.
