Gold falls for a third month

The precious metals of Gold and Silver cooled for a third week, which resulted in net June declines of -$50.20 (3.8%) to $1254.50, and -$0.26 (1.6%) to $16.20 respectively. Near term outlook offers further downside, not least if the USD climbs to the DXY 96s or higher. The m/t outlook would turn decisively bearish if Gold <$1238 and Silver <$16s.
