New York Market Review Signals Turbulent Trading Amid Gold Moves
A New York market review notes a panicky mood easing slightly after a bank move to replenish reserves by exchanging gold for cash tenders. It highlights a large gold flow of 154000, restrained gold exports, and broader pressure across stocks and municipal bonds as traders await signs of stabilization and renewed demand. London acted as a heavy buyer during early week declines, while local dealers faced thin short covering and cautious participation.
