'The longer-term narrative for gold remains in place - waning investor appetite for a risk and inflation hedge, challenged physical demand and a rising USD. We envision gold prices averaging in a US$1,200-1,350/oz range in the coming year before trending lower in the following [one]."

The sharp deterioration in the outlook for the gold price that led us to turn increasingly negative toward gold has had a similar impact on silver, as the cheap proxy for the gold market. Just as the fall in gold prices made a clear and decisive break of the uptrend price channel for that metal, so, too, in silver.
