Oil continued lower on economic worries after the Energy Information Administration reported that crude inventories fell 3.0 million barrels, gasoline inventories rose 400,000 barrels, and distillates rose 3.5 million barrels.
The U.S. dollar index exploded over a full penny higher as the dollar soared higher versus the euro on concerns over economic growth in Europe, but the dollar also fell to a new 15 year low versus the yen at times as the Japanese currency asserted its case as the best safe haven fiat currency.
Treasuries added to early gains after today’s $24 billion 10-year notes sold at a high yield of 2.73% with a bid to cover of 3.04.
The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P fell over 2% on further signs of economic weakness in China and Europe that added to continued uncertainty over the US economy expressed by the fed yesterday.
Among the big names making news in the market today were GM, Macy’s, and Wells Fargo.

ECU Silver Uncovers Additional Mineralization in the Upper Section of the Santa Juana Mine - "A vein structure was recently opened over a strike length of 54 metres with an average width of 3.21 metres and grading 3.36 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 177 g/t silver (Ag), including a section that graded 6.45 g/t Au and 198 g/t Ag over 8.45 metres. This structure, which was previously defined by drilling, is approximately three times the width of the same structure that was included in the Company's latest mineral resource report. The mineral resource report calculated this structure with similar grades but with a reported width of only 1.1 metres or 34% of what was actually found." More

Great Basin reports much improved second quarter results - "Net revenue improved significantly to a quarterly record of CDN$34 million; 39,418 gold equivalent ounces(1) (Au eqv oz) were sold during the quarter (compared with 6,108 Au eqv oz in the quarter ended March 31, 2010). Revenue is net of toll milling charges. Production cost for metal recovered through the Company's Esmeralda mill decreased 20% quarter on quarter and contributed to achieving a gross profit (revenue less production costs) of CDN$13 million (CDN$0.04 earnings per share) for the period. After non-cash charges, including depletion, foreign exchange movement and share based compensation of CDN$8.6 million (CDN$0.03 per share), resulted in a net loss of CDN$5.4 million (CDN$0.02 loss per share) for the quarter."

IAMGOLD Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results - "The second quarter signaled a significant transition for the Company as we started processing material at our new Essakane mine in Burkina Faso," said Peter C. Jones, Interim President & CEO. "The price of gold has remained strong throughout 2010 and has enabled us to realize healthy margins and maintain an excellent balance sheet, even with higher cash costs during the second quarter. Higher unit cash costs were mainly the result of temporarily reduced grades at Rosebel due to heavy rainfall causing a re- sequencing of ore mining in the quarter, a higher waste stripping ratio and lower grades at the Sadiola and Yatela operations, and higher royalty costs due to a higher realized gold price. Our revised guidance for 2010 calls for increased gold production and reduced cash cost per ounce during the second half of the year compared to the first half of 2010." More
