Gold, Silver Tumble.

The price correction for Precious Metals is in full swing, friends.

U.S. gold futures plunged to a six-week low and silver hit a two-month nadir in a cross-metals sell-off on Thursday, as a steady dollar made the hard assets less attractive to investors.

Gold has fallen $100 in a three-week correction from a 26-year high reached in mid-May atop $730 an ounce.
Traders said the break below $640 sparked further stop-loss selling on Thursday.

Gold is currently trading at $629.75 and Silver at $12.01

Look for more volatility in the near-term.
