Oil rose on geopolitical concerns after the Energy Information Administration reported that crude inventories rose 1.75 million barrels, gasoline inventories fell 4.2 million barrels, and distillates fell 2.6 million barrels.

 

The U.S. dollar index rose along with the yen as the euro fell on risk aversion, but the yen rose to a new record high versus the dollar as repatriation further fueled its gains.

 

Treasuries rose as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P fell about 2% on worries over a deepening nuclear crisis in Japan.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were GE and Calpers.

The call option price was fixed at US$1,930 per ounce with the put option at US$1,050 per ounce and as long as gold trades within these prices there is no cash cost to the hedge." More

Exciting, as we had exploration success at both Casa Berardi and Joanna, and also in optioning six new properties, increasing our property portfolio to ten. Aurizon exited the year with strong fundamentals firmly in place.
