to $1800 an ounce she's expecting more business. there's no doubt about that. business from repeat customers such as this man, who happened to show up while he was here, he says he has to rely on the shop to simply make ends meet. this is because recently he got laid off from his job. one of the thins things to go was his gold chain. >> pawn shop has been taking care of me for a couple of months. >> reporter: by some accounts a gold chain that may have gone for $2,000 three years ago will bring in four grand today. owner jan snyder says she sees 60 to 100 customers a day and about 50% of those customers are bringing in gold. but she says it's not necessarily good for business. >> it's sad every day to see people needing money that badly and having to sell their jewelry. so while it brings more people in to sell, it doesn't bring

more people in to buy. >> now the other downside to this is scams. people are getting scammed out of good money for their gold. coming up at 5:30, laura, we're going to talk about the fact more and more illegitimate businesses are popping up and what you can do to protect yourself. >> all right. thank you very much, marla. >> a check on the weather now, toss it to meteorologist christina loren. >> if you're rocking your gold chain this morning it might get cold out there. kind of chilly, clear conditions inland, fog at the coast. we're expecting fog to develop as we head through the next couple of hours. that's traditional for this time of year, where typically we don't see fog, that on-shore flow continues today. that's going to drive in that marine layer inland. a mostly cloudy start from the coast to livermore, tri-valley regions waking up with mostly cloudy conditions.

the bell, let's turn to nicole lapin live at cnbc world headquarters. good morning, nicole. >> hey, good morning, guys. you're right. investors may be taking a little bit of profits after yesterday's big market rally. futures are lower but pretty flat. the surge was sparked by the fed which said they would keep interrates ultralow for the next two years because of the slow economic recovery. the dow fell 200 points after the fed announcement and swank up in the other direction. that kind of market reaction, think of the financial crisis in 2008. asian and european markets are also rising. when the dust settled, the dow finished 429 points or 11,239. nasdaq rose 134 to 2482. cash-strapped americans this morning are trying to stretch the life of their cars even more. a new aaa survey finds 54% don't want the financial burden of a new car, 25% neglected repairs

or routine maintenance in the last year, 28% say they couldn't afford a $2,000 repair bill. folks that used tsh religious 3,000 oil changers are more like 5,000 miles or more in cases. those are the latest headlines out of cnbc, back to you. >> thank you very much, nicole. nice job. >> got to get under the hood there. major hacking group targeting facebook. they are planning to kill the giant november 5th. it claims they are selling user information to government agencies so they can spy on people. facebook denies the allegations. anonymous uses so-called denial of service texts and websites, which slows down the site until servers cannot handle the traffic. anonymous targeted several big name sites including paypal, amazon.com and visa. >> right now keep it simple and target the weather outside.

already clearing up here. smooth drive antioch, pittsburgh, antioch, 60, 242, walnut creek interchange holding up nicely. 24 not a problem through lafayette and miranda. we do see slowing popping up here, eastbound away from caldecott. track that and construction, lower deck 880 at high street, construction zone there as well. a lot volume of traffic, no major issues as you pass by what potentially could be the high street closure as you pass by over the next 20 minutes or so. if that is the case continue south and take 66. that will get you to surface streets. looking at golden gate bridge, christina showed you earlier, all lights clearly visible across the bay. great news. can't help you with the tolls but maybe with gas. nbc bay area and 76, want to help you fill up your tank, know about the scratcher tank, gas

report any thefts immediately. the feds say they will keep the interest rates low to spark the economy. scott mcgrew joins us. how long will the lousy economy last? >> i shouldn't be able to make that, i can now. mid 2013. why do i say that? that's what the fed says. federal open markets committee announced they would keep the interest rates low didn't surprise anyone. kids in an economic class could have guessed that one. giving the time line, the best brains in washington think our suffering will last until at least summer of 2013 by the best guesses. the fed never gives a specific time line, at least it hasn't before now. what does that mean for, say, mortgage rates. so far not much of anything. mortgage rates fell to their lowest rates before they made the announcement. the announcement did have a strong effect on the stock market. what's the downside to all this?

two things. first, any time you ease monetary policy you run the risk of inflation. that hasn't been an issue so far. the concern is inflation will come fast, powerfully before anyone realizes what happens. secondly cheaper dollars mean higher gas prices. those go hand in hand. that's assuming one thing. there are two forces on gas prices. there's the demand. if demand stays low -- >> supply and demand. >> if demand is low because the economy is lousy, gas prices will stay low. if demand rises with these super, super cheap dollars, you will see very high prices of gas. >> everybody is looking for somebody to blame. >> it's the fed. >> 6:26, john. >> blame everywhere. still to come, tears after a brutal rape at a homecoming dance. will the suspect stand trial. a man made swampland, crews worked overnight to repair a water main break. we'll let you know if you'll

owner jan snyder says with the price of gold edging closer to $2,000 an ounce, yesterday closed close to $1800 an ounce. she says there is a downside to the spike. more and more illegitimate businesses are popping up and customers are getting scammed. >> a lot of this business now because of the price of gold are not licensed, not reporting, not taking id. >> reporter: she says the number one thing to keep in mind if you stop by one of these pawn shops is to make sure the business is licensed by the state of california, not just by the city. also the trend towards gold, laura, means there's often an increase in property crime. if you have expensive gold jewelry, it's a good idea to make sure it's safely stored. >> thank you very much, marla. 5:33 right now. we've got developing news out of the east bay this morning. police on the scene of a smash and grab burglary. take a look at the video coming into our newsroom.

2013. they really put a date on that. in this case they did, hinting they feel it's going to take some time to turn the economy around. analysts are saying this is a message to president obama to congress that you've got two years to get this economy in shape, to get some jobs going. and in fact, deal with the deficit. one of the things they are doing in the fall, the deficit commission meets to try to slice another million dollars or so off our deficit. we now know the first three members of that commission, co-chair will be senator patty murray of washington. also serving senator max baucus and john kerry. we'll get the other nine names sometimes before tuesday. laura. >> thank you forth update there. >> time is 5:44. today learn whether arizona's governor will take the controversial immigration law to u.s. supreme court. days the deadline for arizona governor jan brewer to ask the court to accept her appeal of a ruling that puts a hold on the most controversial parts of
