Hello traders everywhere.  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub, with your 1 p.m. market update for Wednesday the 6th of July.

The stars of the show today have to be the metal markets. Gold has rallied $50 from the low that we witnessed last week and is up over 1% today.  Silver is even better with a rally of 1.82%.

The banks stocks took a little hit today and it's clear that these stocks are not out of the woods yet.

Is there a chance that Germany wants out of the euro? I believe there is. I also think that German citizens will ultimately become enraged at having to bail out weaker countries like Greece, Spain, Portugal. France of course has a huge risk as they have the most exposure to Greece. Continue reading "Crude Oil + Precious Metals = Strong Moves" →
