Gold tested historic highs as traders focused on falling Treasury yields and weak U.S. dollar. Demand for gold stays strong, and it has a good chance to gain additional upside momentum.
A move above the $2500 level will likely attract speculative traders and push gold towards the $2550 level.
Silver
