Gold and silver were trading a bit weakly most of the day, as the dollar rallied higher as shown in the third chart below.

But they held their own, even against a rally in equities that had all the appearances of another technical bounce that was able to accelerate a bit into the close on light volumes.

There were a couple spotty deliveries and a little warehouse movement with the precious metals at The Bucket Shop.

There was intraday commentary about the markets and the lack of reform thereof here.

Let’s see if anything develops next week.  So far its been pretty much status quo the New American Century and its currency wars.

Have a pleasant weekend.
