Well here we are now with the dollar much lower on the day, and yet gold and silver were suddenly crushed around midday. So now that weakness in the producers is explained. It could have been a legitimate spread play by the funds, but it is more likely a direct short ahead of the latest raid on the metals. Call the CFTC or the SEC to investigate, and listen to the crickets chirp... Just another day in the markets ruled by criminals.

cheers!
