The precious metals of Gold and Silver saw significant net monthly gains of $26.90 (2.4%) @ $1141.40, and $1.08 (7.5%) @ $15.57 respectively. Despite the gains, the broader trend remain bearish, not least as the USD remains on track to eventually break above the key DXY 100 threshold.

Summary
I remain holding to the original outlook... with Gold $1000/900.. but it is clearly taking longer than expected.. as the USD has trundled sideways since the spring.
--
A continued bearish outlook for Gold and Silver would only be dropped on any sustained price action >$1300 and $20 respectively. Frankly... such upside looks unlikely.. rather than weakness into year end.
Price structure on the weekly charts (not shown) is a large bear flag... and hence.. I remain highly inclined to the broader bearish scenario.
