Metals manage a strong bounce

The precious metals saw a significant bounce after the severe Tuesday drop. Gold and Silver closed with gains of 2.0% and 2.5% respectively. Despite the gains, the metals remain in significant multi-month down trends.

Summary

Suffice to say, a bounce was not entirely unexpected, but despite the strong gains today, the metals remain in broader weekly/monthly down trends.

The thing that so few seem to recognise, even if the metals did put in a key multi-month floor in June (which I doubt), it will take another 9-12 months until the underlying price momentum will get back to neutral, never mind bullish!
