The Metals:

 

Gold reversed slight losses in Asia and rose as much as $7.77 to $1203.97 at around 8:15AM EST, but it then chopped back lower for most of trade in New York and ended near its early afternoon low of $1185.75 with a loss of 0.65%.  Silver climbed to $18.265 and dropped to $18.03 before it bounced back higher in late morning New York trade and ended unchanged on the day.

 

Euro gold fell to about €923, platinum gained $16.50 to $1538, and copper gained another couple of cents to bout $3.18.

 

Gold and silver equities traded mostly slightly higher and ended with modest gains.

Oil ended slightly lower but remained near two month highs as traders kept an eye on a developing tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico.

 

The U.S. dollar index and treasuries fell as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P rose about 1% in afternoon trade after European bank stress test results were revealed without raising any significant concerns as only 7 of the 91 banks failed the “test.”  News that GE is raising its dividend also encouraged the bulls.

 

Among the big names making news in the market Friday were GE, Microsoft, McDonald’s, Citigroup, Verizon, Ford, and BP.
