The U.S. dollar index dropped after Euro Zone finance ministers agreed to offer 8 billion euro of financial aid to Greece and with expectations that the European Central Bank and IMF will provide capital to curb the Euro Zone debt crisis. Record highs of Italian debt yields, however, still caused worries among investors, leading to drastically fluctuating gold and silver prices. SMM expects intense fluctuation to continue for the two metals.
