The Metals:

 

Gold dropped $5.20 to $1325.50 in late Asian trade before it rallied up to $1332.90 in midmorning New York trade and jumped up to a new session high of $1336.10 following the release of today’s fed minutes, but it then fell back off into the close and ended near its late low of $1322.60 with a loss of 0.47%. Silver climbed up to $16.764 before it also fell back off, but it still ended with a gain of 0.06%.

 

Euro gold fell to about €1078, platinum lost $11 to $987, and copper remained at about $3.20.

 

Gold and silver equities rose over 2% by a little after 2PM EST, but they then fell back off into the close and ended slightly lower on the day.

 

The Economy:

 

Fed policymakers show rising confidence on inflation, economic outlook: minutes  Reuters

Fed Minutes Show Confidence Improving on Growth, Price Outlook  Bloomberg

U.S. existing home sales fall for second straight month  Reuters

Markit manufacturing PMI for Feb (Prelim) 55.9 vs. 55.5 expected  forexlive

Mortgage applications tank, as rising rates make homes less affordable  CNBC

 

Tomorrow brings Initial Jobless Claims and Leading Indicators.

 

The Markets:

 

Oil closed slightly lower ahead of tomorrow’s holiday delayed inventory report.

 

The U.S. dollar index rose and treasuries fell after traders seemed to realize that today’s somewhat dovish fed minutes did not take into account the more hawkish economic data that was released after the conclusion of January’s meeting.

 

The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P erased sizeable midday gains and closed notably lower on concerns about rising interest rates.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were Apple, Intel, Broadcom, GM, Tesla, and Walmart.
