Metals pressured via the USD

It was a second consecutive bearish week for the precious metals of Gold and Silver, with net weekly declines of -$8.70 (0.7%) to $1271.80, and -$0.33 (1.9%) to $16.75 respectively. Near term outlook offers further weakness, not least if the USD continues to claw upward.

 With 2 trading days left of the month, copper is $3.10, and that should be enough to ensure an Oct' close >$3.00.
