Gold Prices fell $7.10 to $1120.50 in London on Friday before rallying back near unchanged in early New York trade.

The Gold Price then fell off markedly for the rest of New York dealing, ending $6.20 off its early afternoon low of $1101.20 with a loss of 1.8%, cutting the week's gain vs. the Dollar to 0.5%.

Crude oil fell back near $80 a barrel as the US Dollar index rose again on uncertainty over Greece that sent the Euro lower.

The Gold Price in Euros fell to about €818, higher by 2.3% from the Friday before, and closed the week 1.9% stronger against the British Pound. 

Treasuries rose as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P fell on worries over Greece, health care, and poor company reports, cutting the stock market's week-on-week gains to 0.7%.

Silver fell a little over 1% to $17.227 in London before it also rallied back near unchanged in early New York trade, but silver fell to a new session low of $19.97 at around noon and ended with loss of 2.5% on the day, unchanged for the week.

Platinum lost $13 to $1609.50, and copper fell slightly to about $3.38.

Gold Mining and silver equities fell over 2% by late morning before they bounced back higher in afternoon trade, but they still ended with more than 1.5% losses.
