As GM goes bankrupt, world stocks rally

SHOOT: As I've said before, the market is schizophrenic, and suffers from ADD (much like the mainstream media). I see SASOL shares are up to R307 today, after being in the R280 range for most of May. Crude prices have inched up to $67.

U.S. crude oil futures for July delivery rose $1.26 to $67.57 a barrel. Comex gold rose $4.60 to $983.40 an ounce. Bond prices fell, with the yield on the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note climbing seven-hundreths of a point to 3.53 percent.
Global stocks started June with a strong bounce, with markets rising across Asia and Europe even as the world waited for the historic bankruptcy of General Motors later Monday.
