June Gold closed down 19.4 at 1569.3. This was 8.3 up from the
low and 25.1 off the high.
July Silver finished down 0.142 at 28.179, 0.596 off the high
and 0.084 up from the low.
The gold market managed to throw off early pressure as prices
managed to recover into mid morning but then the market saw its bullish resolve
partially weaken through mid session. Strength in the dollar and weakness in the
Euro might have limited gold and other physical commodity markets today, as
concern toward the Euro zone situation generally remained in place today despite
the impending EU summit directly ahead. Some traders suggest that the EU needs
to come forth with something significant in order to restore confidence and
right now that something would seem to be taking the form of a Euro Bond. Seeing
the Euro come under fresh pressure today would seem to suggest that the trade
has to see proof of credible action before putting a positive spin on the
European debt crisis.
The silver market today forged a lower high and a lower low on
the charts and that probably gives the bear camp some fresh technical
confidence. With US scheduled data mixed today and the European situation in
limbo into the EU summit it wasn't surprising to see silver and other physical
commodity markets fall back on their charts. About the only positive for silver
today was periodic strength in US equities but even that potentially supportive
development was countervailed by adverse currency market action.
