Metals ramp on USD weakness

With the US Federal Reserve a little closer to raising US interest rates, the USD saw significant weakness. The declines really helped inspire the precious metals, with Gold and Silver settling higher by 2.0% and 3.1% respectively. The broader trend remains bearish though.

SLV, daily



Summary

Suffice to say... one sig' daily gain does not break a primary down trend.

The $1000 threshold for Gold still looks due this spring/summer... even if the USD decline to DXY 92/88 zone by late summer.
