Gold and Silver Outlook
Reuters said that spot gold slipped about 0.4% down to $4,397.42 per ounce and US gold futures for December were also lower around 0.5% to $4,452.90. In the near term, market participants will likely keep an eye on US monetary policy signals as well as how prices for global bullion are moving. If yields ease, or the dollar is more soft that might give gold some backing. But if yields harden and the dollar turns firmer, it could keep putting pressure on the metal.
