While global equity markets were higher overnight and produced a measure of risk on sentiment, economic news overnight was generally discouraging with European and factory activity contracting last month while Chinese June PMI readings marginally improved but were heavily offset by a survey predicting "gloom to spread from weak Chinese growth".
 
Fortunately for the bull camp, the dollar is showing only minimal strength as a 10th straight daily outflow from gold ETF holdings highlights a market still out of favor with investors. Gold holdings year-to-date are now down 1.2%!
 
Silver ETF holdings also declined last week by 1.86 million ounces and are fractionally lower year-to-date...[MORE]

While the upside breakout in the dollar this morning is not large in scope, the negative impact on gold and silver prices has been extended into another session.
 
However, we suspect a large portion of yesterday's aggressive washout in gold and silver came from the significant jump in US treasury yields and further gains in US yields are possible today.
 
Not surprisingly, the jump in US rates and strengthening in the dollar was sparked by another round of solid US economic data...[MORE]

With a 10-day high in the dollar early today and a fresh new low for the move in August gold, the market briefly entered a gap left from early March starting at $1910.50 and ending at $1908.90.
 
Apparently, the gold and silver trade saw the hawkish dialogue from the US Federal Reserve chairman yesterday as more convincing than the hawkish dialogue from other major central bank leaders as money flowed toward the dollar after the conference ended for the day.
 
Nonetheless, the consensus among world central bankers was two or "more" interest rate hikes were likely ahead. With the word "more" included the US Fed President opened the door for something more than 2 minor interest rate hikes this year as previously indicated...[MORE]
