Euro gold rose to about €996, platinum gained $8.50 to $1552, and copper fell nearly 5 cents to about $3.05.

The Markets:

Oil fell almost 2% as the U.S. dollar index rose after the euro fell to a new four-year low “on signs the euro zone's debt crisis is spreading to its banking system.”

 

Treasuries rose on worries over sovereign debt, geopolitics in various places around the world, and the ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

 

The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P reversed early losses and turned slightly higher midday after economic data came in better than expected, but all three indices turned back lower in late trade and ended with notable losses on concern over the issues that drove bonds higher.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were BP, Prudential and AIG, Covidien and Ev3, HP, Intel, Ford, and Honda.
