For the first time this week we are not seeing strength on Wall Street into the close. Stocks are holding up will in comparison to some of the related markets, though. Gold is down about $9 from intraday highs at $1023 this morning while Oil and the broad CRB are marginally lower.
EUR/USD is ebbing a bit after garnering some support from EUR/GBP buying all afternoon. That cross is still bid but the buck is talking back some lost ground as Wall Street finally takes a breather. EUR/USD trades at 1.4727.
