Bobbys Corner-Open Market-June.14.2010

Posted: 14 Jun 2010 05:12 AM PDT

bob-slade-forex-2-150x200Good Morning:

The USD and JPY declined against the Euro, as a report from Europe showed that industrial production was higher than economists had expected.  The data showed that industrial production within the EU rose .8%, and was expected to increase .5%.
The sovereign debt crisis in the EU may cause banks with additional write downs from the crisis to face a potential funding squeeze.  The markets will be concerned as this may cause depressed earnings, slow down lending practices, and slow economic growth through out the region.

World equity markets rose, and US Futures are higher this morning.
Commodities were higher across the board, with oil trading in the $75/bar handle.

Oil:$75.52                                           Gold:$1228.60
