Speculations that the US Federal Reserve will expand its monetary easing program after they finish meeting later this week resulted in slight dollar losses during the overnight session. At the same time, worse than expected Chinese news led to risk aversion in the marketplace which limited the dollar’s losses.
Concerns regarding the euro-zone economic recovery, combined with the Chinese news, led to moderate losses in gold and silver prices last night. Meanwhile, crude oil gained some $0.30 a barrel during early morning trading.
