Commodities have bounced back after some profit-taking in the middle of the US session. Gold is back up to $1533. oil is nearly unchanged on the day and Silver is back to the middle of its range.

The dollar is muddling along, consolidating big recent losses after getting no help from today’s weak GDP and employment data. EUR/USD is at 1.4815, USD/JPY at 81.58, AUD/USD at 1.0893.
