GOLD

Last week, we saw a number of world and U.S. events and announcements that affected the precious metal markets both upward and downward. Last week started with a new U.S. trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, which caused both Gold and Silver to move lower. Then, on Tuesday in early trading, fears of an Italian debt crisis caused concerns that the Eurozone would stimulate the economy. This drove Gold $17 higher because of the inflationary effect.

By Friday, we had fears of expanding China tariffs and seeing a major seller in the U.S. Treasury market, driving interest rates on the 10-Year Treasury to a seven year high of 3.22%. The U.S. Dollar Index remained strong all week (above 95), putting pressure on Gold and Silver prices.

Gold closed at $1,201.10 on Friday, up $9.50 for the week, but Gold continues to be locked into the $1,180 to $1,220 per ounce trading range. There is a great article on our website, called "In Gold We Trust."

Today: Gold saw selling in the Far East this morning, driving the price down to the lower end of the recent trading range of $1,186 per ounce. A higher U.S. Dollar Index is also putting pressure on Gold.

SILVER

Silver closed last Friday at $14.56, down $0.06 per ounce for the week. During this very volatile week, Silver reached a high of $14.88 before seeing heavy short-selling. The Silver/Gold ratio has increased to 82.3-to-1. The key number remains $15 per ounce, as many professional traders see Silver in a bearish trend until it breaks that level.

Today: Silver followed Gold lower, reaching $14.25 before finding strong buying. Demand for physical Silver investment products picked up dramatically at the lower level.
