The euro was able to hold steady at the 1.3100 level against the US dollar last night, just below a four-month high. After an unexpected drop yesterday, the price of crude oil, gold and silver stabilized during the Asian trading, and remain near recent multi-month highs. Analysts attributed yesterday’s bearish movement, which saw the price of crude fall more than $3 a barrel in a matter of minutes, to low volatility in the marketplace, which can sometimes result in erratic price shifts.
