Oil alert: wait for the inventories
Yesterday’s private survey showed larger-than-expected cut in oil output.
Gold sinks on soaring greenback
On Monday, gold declined because the evergreen buck managed to gain early traction, thus putting pressure on the most popular precious commodity, which has been sticking with the year’s minimums.
December delivery gold futures slumped by 0.5% coming up with an outcome of $1,217.50 an ounce.
In addition to this, September delivery silver futures declined by 0.7% reaching $15.355 an ounce.

However, market experts stressed that silver would be capable of following through on some moderate upward momentum.
Other market experts drew attention to the fact that the entire precious metals space has turned out to be a very difficult area. They referred to pressure on prices, which have been dominating the sector of commodities.
