20110304 Weekend, Miners

Dow 12,169.88 -88.32
Nasdaq 2,784.67 -14.07
SP500 1,321.15 -9.82
10-YrBond 3.49% -0.08

Stock indices recovered half of the daily losses in the last half hour.
Dollar was slightly down at 76.4 and oil was slightly up at 104.42.

Silver closed at 35.67. 6th week higher. Up $2 this week. Next stop is $36.
Moving out of volatile silvers and into less volatile golds has had the anticipated effect of less volatility. Gold upside has also been less than silver.

Oil closed at nearly 105 per barrel. CME raised futures margins on oil and gasoline contracts. Will this slow the ascent of oil or just a pause to refresh the bulls?
