Markets Dip As Debt Crisis Continues

The FTSE and the Dax have fallen 1.08% and 1.09%, respectively, and Cac 40 has fallen 1.39% as the markets react to Bank Stress Test results released by the European Banking Authority and more worries of the debt crisis. Gold has hit $1,600 as investors seek stability in the commodity over currencies and equities.
