Where’s the Love for Greece and the austerity measures they passed. With a little pessimism the yellow metal rose $14.40USD/oz @ 1732.10; Silver also up $0.27  $33.62/USD/oz. With the sabre rattling continuing in the Persian Gulf and a potential Iranian conflict oil surges $1.05 to $101.79USD/barrel. The Euro finally shows some weakness slowly depreciating versus the USD$. Greece has until March 20th to make payments for the bonds issued. They are now seeking a 70% reduction of the money owed to banks and investors. Can anyone say DEFAULT!
