August’s drop in Personal Income was revised lower to -0.9% from a previously reported decline of -0.1%.  Tomorrow at 10AM EST brings Construction Spending for September expected at 0.5% and the ISM Index for October expected at 57.0.  At 2:15 is the FOMC policy announcement.  It’s almost a foregone conclusion that the fed will raise rates by 25 basis points for a 12th consecutive time to bring the federal funds rate to 4%, so speculation about their statement will likely be the big news tomorrow.

Gold and silver traded slightly lower in Asia and London before they dropped off markedly in New York and closed near their lows of the day with notable losses of 1.69% and 3.22%, respectively.

 

Gold and silver equities started off the day by moving nearly 2% higher before falling off to find minor losses for much of trade, but they ended the day mixed and near unchanged despite the large losses in gold and silver.

 

More Precious Metals Analysis:

 

“The gold and silver market came under aggressive liquidation pressure in the wake of a strong upward adjustment in the Dollar. Just to show how bearish the market was Monday, prices weakened in the wake of a 9.4 billion buyout/merger of Barrick and Place Dome! Certainly an extensively overbought technical condition (from the latest COT report) justified part of selling Monday morning, but we suspect that the liquidation move was a little overdone. In a big picture, longer term sense a stronger economy should bolster physical demand expectations, but a higher equity market might have siphoned off some speculative capital from gold and silver.” - The Hightower Report, Futures Analysis and Forecasting

 

The U.S. dollar index rose on positive U.S. economic data and on expectations for comments suggesting further interest rate hikes by the fed tomorrow.  The yen fell to new 25 month lows.

 

Oil closed below $60 for the first time in over 3 months on forecasts for warm weather this winter and expectations that supplies will meet demand.

 

Treasuries rose slightly as traders debated about the fed’s statement tomorrow.

 

The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P traded nicely higher throughout the day on lower oil, positive economic news, and plenty of company news.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were United Airlines, SBC and AT&T, Verizon and MCI, Exxon, Fidelity, Time Warner, Saks and Bon-Ton, Valero, Occidental, Novartis and Chiron, Kellogg, Humana, Telefonica and O2, and Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff.

 

Gold & Silver Stock News Update from GoldReview.com:
