Market Report: Consolidating after recent

After the spectacular run from the lows of early July, gold and silver took a breather this week. Bullion markets on Comex had become very overbought, so a pause was inevitable, and healthy. In early European trading this morning, gold is down $23 from last Friday’s close at $1325, and silver off 25 cents at $17.71.
Our next chart illustrates how overbought gold had become, with the Managed Money category net longs on Comex (hedge funds) having soared.
