Crude-oil futures ended lowe, taking part in a broader selloff on worries about the euro zone. They trimmed losses the inventories report and news Greece will get its emergency aid from the European bailout fund. June Crude declined 0.2%, to end at $96.81 a barrel on the New York Merca, oil’s lowest settlement since February. |
Gold fell, and the dollar continued its winning streak amid concerns about Greece and Spain as well. June Gold fell 0.6% to $1,594.20 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Merc. |
Always serving the West Side first, I am Bill Roller of BR Capital for AM 1360 KUIK. |
