Analysis and Recommendations:

Silver is trading at 26.663 off 0.470 as precious metals fell today after the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s most recent meeting did not indicate U.S. policymakers were gearing up to take additional action to stimulate growth, thereby lessening the chances of a boost for the bullion price.

Industrial metals slipped also as markets remained cautious ahead of the release of second quarter economic growth figures from China and as sentiment soured after the U.S. Federal Reserve dampened speculation of further stimulus measures in the short-term. Gold also fell in today’s session, trading at midway at 1559.75 off over 15.00
