    Musings from Ubika

    Markets around the globe had a mixed week as investors eagerly awaitthis weekends summit of EU leaders. Optimism that EU leaders willfind some solution to their debt woes lifted some markets but highvolatility in commodities pulled some markets down for the week.

    In the U.S., not so discouraging economic data coupled with strongquarterly earnings results from blue chips lifted two of the three majorindices into weekly gains. The Dow posted its fourth week of gains to

    complete this week with a 1.4% gain. The S&P 500 had its longest weekly gains sincethe beginning of the year as it posted 1.1% gain for the week. The Nasdaq couldntmaintain the same momentum as it slid by 1.1% for the week.

    In Canada, both the major indices were down for the week, as high volatility incommodities pulled down the market and as core inflation came to more than expectedlevel. The TSX index finished 1.1% lower and the Venture index lost 1.6% for the week.Other markets had a similar story with mixed results as investors sought assurance and

    looked for signs of optimism from EU leaders before committing to the equity markets.Commodities had a very volatile week in which most finished lower. Crude oil gained0.7%, its third week of gains, but Gold and Silver which increased strongly on Fridayafter falling for the first four days finished the week lower. Gold finished at $1631.10, adecrease of 2.8% compared to last week and silver lost 3% as both precious metalsseek direction in coming months. We continue to believe that gold is forming a base atthe current level of $1600, which will be beneficial for the bullion price in the long run.

    Just a week of positive returns, the UG50 again finished the week in the red as investorswait for the EU leaders decision before moving back to small caps.
