A rare occurance today as oil and gold are very weak when the U.S. Dollar is flat. Usually, the U.S. Dollar would have to be up nicely to be causing this weakness in both oil and gold. This tells us there is a little extra fear in the market today or worry about the growth of the global economy. China reported weaker than expected economic numbers, this is most likely the cause. The SPDR Gold Trust (ETF) (NYSE:GLD) is trading at $129.88, -1.44 (-1.10%) while the United States Oil Fund LP (ETF) (NYSE:USO) is trading at $34.97, -0.62 (-1.74%).

Bernanke Says Fed Does Not Engage In Stock Market Or “Individual Stock” Manipulation; Some Loose Ends On FX Swaps.
Another wonderful question to which Bernanke, unless he had completely lost his mind, gives a negative anwer, is whether any foreign banks that were the recipients of FX swaps, used the proceeds to buy US Treasuries. Obviously, Bernanke's answer is no, as this would be yet another shadow monetization process.
