Despite the USD seeing the biggest net monthly decline since 2011, the precious metals continued to slide. Gold and Silver saw net monthly declines of -$0.80 (-0.1%) @ $1182.40, and -$0.51 (-3.0%) @ $16.12 respectively. Near/mid term outlook remains bearish.. at least to the giant threshold of Gold $1000.

Summary
It is pretty incredible that despite a very significant net monthly decline for the USD of -3.8%, the precious metals still failed to achieve a net monthly gain.
*holding to original targets... with Gold falling to the giant $1000 threshold this summer/early autumn, with Silver in the 12/10 zone.
If correct, the mining stocks will suffer hugely, with likely downside of 30-50% from current levels.
A key multi-year low looks viable in late summer/early autumn... and that would be similarly the case for mining stocks.
