Gold prices continue to slide amidst economic uncertainty.
Gold and silver prices are slightly down due to technical selling and lack of fresh fundamental inputs. The US debt-ceiling extension talks are in focus this week, with President Biden and House leaker McCarthy scheduled to meet today. The US dollar index is weaker, while Nymex crude oil prices are near steady. Technically, gold futures bulls have the overall near-term technical advantage, while silver bears have the overall near-term technical advantage.
