The prices gold and silver traded up again during last week, and I suspect precious metals rates will further increase this week. The number of jobs added in August according to the U.S non-farm payroll report didn’t meet expectations. This news may have been among the factors to pull up precious metals and depreciate the USD. As I have pointed out in the precious metals weekly outlook the main event of the week will revolve around the FOMC meeting. But there are several other events and reports that could affect the bullion market including: EU Council meeting, German Court Ruling on bailout, U.S retail sales report and U.S CPI. On today’s agenda: Japan Current Account, China’s Trade Balance, and China New Loans.
Here is a short outlook for precious metals for Monday, September 10th:
