Analysis and Recommendations:
Silver declined today, to trade at 27.22. Precious metals edged down today, pressured by a higher dollar as investors nervous about global economic growth piled into the greenback for safety. Industrial metals edged down today as Chinese imports of the metal fell 17.5 percent in June from a month earlier, with traders cautious ahead of China GDP data this week. The drop in imports reported as part of the trade balance surprised the markets and weighed heavily on the metals pack. Gold spent the day moving between small losses and gains, without much direction.
