The Metals:

 

Gold dropped $14.40 to $1160.40 in early Asian trade before it rose to see a gain of $7.10 at $1181.90 at about 5AM EST, but it then drifted back lower in London and New York and ended with a loss of 0.1%. Silver rose to as high as $14.829 and ended with a gain of 1.53%.

 

Euro gold fell to about €1032, platinum gained $12 to $777, and copper climbed a couple of cents to about $2.60.

 

Gold and silver equities saw slight gains for most of the morning, but they then fell back off into the close and ended over 2% lower on the day.

 

The Economy:

 

Housing starts inch up in July, miss forecast  MarketWatch

Philly Fed index sinks in August to lowest reading in 21 months  MarketWatch

U.S. jobless claims fall for second straight week  Reuters

Mortgage rates tumble as housing starts to drag down the economy  MarketWatch

 

Tomorrow brings Consumer sentiment and Leading economic indicators.

 

The Markets:

 

Oil rose almost 1% while the U.S. dollar index traded mostly lower along with treasuries as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P jumped roughly 1% higher on renewed optimism that a resolution to a trade dispute with China could be achieved when a fresh round of talks happens later this month.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were Tesla, Cisco, Macy’s, and Walmart.
