Oil and the U.S. dollar index both fell on today’s disappointing economic data.

 

Treasuries extended higher after today’s $29 billion 7-year note auction sold at a high yield of 2.429% with a bid to cover of 3.24.

 

The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P reversed early loses and ended higher on hopes that Europe’s debt problems will be resolved.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were Big Lots, Morgan Stanley, Yahoo, Citigroup, and BofA.

NovaGold Files Preliminary Economic Assessment for Ambler Project - "The Ambler project can create substantial value for shareholders," said Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, President and CEO of NovaGold. "While we are committed to delivering significant leverage to gold prices through our world-class Donlin Creek and Galore Creek projects, NovaGold also has substantial copper resources through its ownership interest in the Ambler and Galore Creek projects. As demonstrated by the PEA, at then current metal prices the Ambler project would have a discounted NPV of US$1.6 billion, which is approximately half the current market capitalization of NovaGold. Clearly, we have a lot of work to do to advance this project to production, but the exceptionally high-grade nature of the deposit, its low geopolitical risk profile and the support of the State of Alaska and NANA, the local Alaska Native Corporation, give us confidence that we can unlock the extraordinary value of Ambler."
