Analysis and Recommendations:

Silver traded positive today, increasing more than gold to trade at 27.365 adding 1.65% whereas gold is trading at 1588.05 but only added 0.58%.

Precious metals traded mostly steady. Spot gold was little changed while, spot silver ticked up. Investors choose to stay on the sideline for fresh cues after the weekend fall on a sluggish US jobs data. Base metal threw mixed signals with complex in Shanghai Futures Exchange mostly in red while, in the LME metals traded steady. China’s inflation data for the month of June released earlier today indicated a cool off in price levels, which ignited hopes of further monetary stimulus. LME copper was tad up snapping three consecutive sessions of losses.

Global sentiment is fairly negative at this time, while investors sit and wait for news flow from the Eurogroup meeting, where Euro Ministers are discussing the implementation of the EU banking plan proposed at the EU Summit on June 29th.
