Gold, silver down as stock markets stabilize

Kitco News

(Kitco News) - Gold and silver prices are lower in midday U.S. trading Monday, pressured in part by some fresh chart-based selling and by global stock markets that started out the trading week steady to mostly firmer Monday. Bond yields declining a bit Monday worked more in favor of the stock market bulls. April gold futures were last down $3.80 at $1,737.90 and May Comex silver was last down $0.561 at $25.76 an ounce.

Global stock markets were mixed overnight. U.S. stock indexes are higher at midday. There is not a lot of risk aversion in the global marketplace at present and that's bearish for the safe-haven metals. The Turkish lira dropped around 10% against the U.S. dollar Monday following the abrupt firing of Turkey's top central bank official Saturday by Turkey's president. While this news has not significantly impacted the currency and financial markets, traders will keep a close eye on the Turkish lira in the near term.

The key "outside markets" today see Nymex crude oil futures prices a bit weaker and trading around $61.30 a barrel. Meantime, the U.S. dollar index is also weaker today. The U.S. Treasury 10-year note yield is fetching 1.65% Monday morning after hitting 1.75% last week.
