With a quiet weekend in the Crimea, US markets were in a calm mood, and that saw the precious metals cool down from their recent gains. Gold and Silver saw net daily declines of -1.0% and -1.4% respectively. Near term outlook is mixed, but with a very bullish 'Golden Cross' due for Gold.

Summary
*Silver remains noticeably laggy, and is still below the Oct' high.

It would seem that whilst there is increased geo-political tension, the precious metals will continue to claw higher this spring.
This will be especially impressive considering the current weakness in Copper prices, now holding under the important $3 threshold.
