A second bad week for the metals

The precious metals started the week on a bearish note, and were weak across the trading week. Gold and Silver saw very significant net weekly declines of -3.0% and -2.5% respectively. Near term outlook is bearish, especially if the USD continues to hold steady..or even climb.


GLD, weekly


SLV, weekly


Summary

Last week was a pretty clear reversal, and that has been entirely confirmed with some significant downside follow through.

Gold and Silver are both on the slide, and we're back to the question of whether the 2013 lows are going to be broken.

All things considered, I hold to my original outlook, and look for a capitulation low in Gold, somewhere in the $1000/900s, with Silver 12/10. All those who are hyper bullish Silver..should go stare at a Copper monthly chart for a few hours.... it ain't bullish.
