Gold and silver are negative this morning, due to a stronger dollar after North Korea refrained from any missile or nuke tests over the weekend, and hurricane Irma is downgraded to a tropical storm. Both Harvey and Irma will likely impact crude demand negatively, keeping pressure on prices for the time being. Crude oil is now trading at US$47.19 down 0.61%.
The Energy sector, is however, up 0.53%.
Utilities is the sole negative, down 0.12%.
