Gold

Gold faced resistance near the $2000 level and pulled back as Treasury yields rebounded from session lows. The strong U.S. dollar put additional pressure on gold markets.

Silver

Silver pulled back from session highs as traders took some profits off the table after the strong rally. Gold/silver ratio is currently testing the 50 EMA at 85.35. A move below this level will provide additional support to silver.
