It was a volatile week that ended on a negative note for the precious metals and finished the week down 1.7%. US Nonfarm Payroll data came in slightly higher than expected, which put further downside pressure on the metals; they did find support around Wednesday’s low. Trading volume will likely begin to slow down coming into the holiday season, which actually creates more volatility in the markets because there are less participants ...

After pressing below the $1230 level, gold closed the week on a positive note finishing up at $1250. Platinum markets went opposite the gold and silver markets this week, moving down below $1380 and finishing the week down near $1360.

Gold had a tough week after a $30 down day on Wednesday on potential tapering headlines. From a technical perspective, the charts for the precious metals do not look great.

This caused the US dollar to appreciate and the inverse relationship that we haven’t seen a lot of lately took over and propelled gold lower. Technical selling below the $1310 level ...
