The Metals:

 

Gold fell about 1% in Asia and London and then dropped even further in late morning New York trade to as low as $1221.85 by about 11:30AM EST before it bounced back higher in the last couple of hours of trade, but it still ended with a loss of 1.19%.  Silver fell to as low as $18.07 before it also climbed back higher in late trade, but it still ended with a loss of 1.3%.

 

Euro gold fell to about €1021, platinum gained $8 to $1527, and copper rose 7 cents to about $2.84.

 

Gold and silver equities waffled near unchanged for most of the morning, but they then fell off in afternoon trade and ended with over 1% losses.

U.S debt to rise to $19.6 trillion by 2015  Reuters

 

The fed’s Beige Book for June showed that “manufacturing picked up, retail sales grew, tourism improved and housing was helped by the now-expired tax credit for homebuyers. But commercial real estate is weak and labor market conditions improved only ‘slightly.’” 

 

Tomorrow at 8:30AM EST brings Initial Jobless Claims for 6/05 expected at 450,000 and the Trade Balance for April expected at -$41.3 billion.  At 2PM is the Treasury Budget for May expected at $142.0 billion.

 

The Markets:

The U.S. dollar index and treasuries fell as oil and the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P rose rather markedly for most of the morning on optimism over economic growth after a report showing growing Chinese exports and pleasing testimony from fed chairman Bernanke, but late day weakness in the euro caused the major indices to reverse all of their gains in afternoon trade and close with modest losses. Today’s 10-year note auction drew a yield of 3.242% with a bid to cover of 3.24.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were BP, GM, and CVS.
