Major indexes on see-saw; investors torn between
recent positive corporate earnings and unexpected drop in oil inventories.

Crude oil futures were trading down this morning,
despite an unexpected decline in inventories; warm weather forecasts for the
Northeast helped to bring oil prices lower.

Gold futures were trading up this morning, buoyed by
the Dollar’s struggle against the Euro and a broad metals advance.
