GOLD SPIKE
Gold spiked on Tuesday due to China's rate hike and perhaps due to word that JPMorgan began accepting bullion as collateral for trading.
What’s the trade?
Trader Patty Edwards is long gold and silver for clients. "I expect the global economy will get stronger and that should be bullish for both metals."

PIECE OF APPLE
With Apple again hitting new record highs, analysts scrambled to increase their price targets.
What’s the trade?
Although some investors may worry that the Street is too bullish, Joe Terranova isn't one of them. He says the powerful fundamentals remain unchanged. “I think the path for Apple is higher.”
"My target for Apple is $450," adds Jon Najarian. "I think the Verizon iPhone and the second version of the iPad are two good reasons to own the stock."

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY: BAXTER INTERNATIONAL
Jon Najarian has spotted unusual activity in Baxter International.
A larger than usual volume in the Baxter August 55 calls leads Najarian to speculate that this stock could make a move higher but not necessarily in the short term.
