Continued asset liquidation yesterday

Continued asset liquidation yesterday drove gold under the 1600 mark. However as expected gold has since recovered. The rest of the precious group has suffered losses on the same move but has had greater difficulty in regaining overnight. The threat of what the unknown repercussions will be when, not if, Greece defaults is forcing many baking groups to shore up their cash reserves. In the time to come the ones that survive the storm that will become the new leaders in building a recovery. For now today’s ADP employment data was much better than expected though remember their data is more volatile and not always an indicator of the official US employment data due out this Friday. The market in general looks to be more focused on what President Trichet will have to say tomorrow and the US numbers on Friday. Meanwhile in Athens rioting continues, a better solution is needed to keep the peace and that may include expulsion from the Euro.
