‘Gold and silver prices are lower in midday trading Wednesday, but up from session lows, on some routine profit taking and downside corrections after recent gains. Better risk appetite recently is also a bearish element for the safe-haven metals. The key outside markets today see the U.S. dollar index slightly firmer and still trending higher. Nymex crude oil futures prices are higher and trading around $68.00 a barrel. This week’s strong rebound in crude prices suggests the market has put in a near-term bottom.
