By Nick Godt, MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Crude oil futures fell nearly 2% and gold fell 0.6% Friday after the government said the U.S. economy added 431,000 jobs in May, but most of the gains were temporary and private-sector hiring remained very weak.
Crude oil futures for July delivery fell $1.58, or 2.1%, to $73.03 a barrel. Gold for August dropped $7, or 0.6%, to $1,203.10 an ounce.

Soon they will turn off the 4 vents that are releasing Oil and try this thing out, keep your fingers crossed.:worried:

BP may learn Friday how effective the new cap it placed on the ruptured undersea well is in slowing down the largest oil spill in U.S. history.

Ah..I was wondering why all the oil was spewing yet..I didn't realize they were pressure relieving (venting) while they fitted the cap..makes sense now..thanks Norm for the up-date.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil futures fell more than 2% on Friday as a much-awaited report on jobs and hiring in the U.S. underwhelmed the market and, coupled with more bad news from Europe, raised the odds of a double-dip recession.
Crude for July delivery fell $1.56, or 2.1%, to $73.06 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On the week, prices have lost 1.2%.

BP says oil flowing from ruptured well to ship on Gulf surface
Video
The situation in the Gulf is dire, and so far, there's no end in sight. Anderson Cooper reports live from the region as BP continues to try to stop the leak. For the latest, watch "AC360°" tonight at 10 ET on CNN.
Venice, Louisiana (CNN) -- On day 46 of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, BP, at last, began to siphon oil Friday from the ruptured undersea well to the surface, where it was flowing onto the awaiting drill ship Discover Enterprise.
