The Markets:

Oil ended modestly lower on profit taking as a refinery came back online over the weekend and hurricane season has so far remained calm.
The U.S. dollar index fell yet again on credit market worries as the yen continued to rise on carry trade closings.
Treasuries fell as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P rebounded from last week’s sharp losses on decent earnings reports and more takeover activity.
Among the big names making news in the market today were RadioShack, Wrigley, Citadel, News Corp. and Dow Jones, Sanyo, Verizon Wireless and Rural Cellular, ABN and Barclays, Loews, American Home Mortgage, and Archer Daniels Midland.
The Commentary:
“December Gold finished up 4.3 at 676.6, 0.1 off the high and 4.6 up from the low.
September Silver closed up 0.188 at 12.903. This was 0.173 up from the low and 0.012 off the high.
The gold market staged a modest recovery today, mostly consolidating within Friday's range, which was also towards the bottom of last Thursday's big range down day. The dollar eased back after last Friday's gains and the S&P and other indices managed to recover after a test of last Friday's lows. These two outside factors, coupled with stronger crude oil prices meant that forces were lined up in gold's favor for a change.
The silver market staged a modest recovery as well today, staying mostly within Friday's range for most of the session and towards the lower end of last week's wide range. Like gold, silver found support from higher equity and energy markets as well as a weaker dollar. Silver may have also found support from a higher copper trade, which received news of possible strike action in Mexico on the heels of ongoing labor disputes in Chile.”- The Hightower Report, Futures Analysis and Forecasting
