A bearish June

It was a pretty bearish month for the precious metals of Gold and Silver, with net June declines of -$33.10 (2.6%) to $1242.30, and -$0.78 (4.5%) to $16.63 respectively. Near term outlook is leaning weak.


Gold, monthly



Silver, monthly



Summary

Suffice to add, it was certainly a difficult month for the precious metals, and related mining stocks.

Keep in mind the USD, which has been in cooling mode since a bearish break in late April. Indeed, when you consider the weak USD, the precious metals are actually weaker than on first look.

Dr Copper is an indirect bullish sign, as its close to breaking and holding above the key $2.70 threshold.
