    The energy markets have bounced back a bit. There appears to be limited downside in petroleum markets below the recent lows which might be helping gold stabilize. Also, the dollar is a little bit softer and the euro had risen late Wednesday, after the U.S. trade deficit reached another record. Palladium and copper bucked the upward trend and declined.
