Gold Weakens on Technical Selling, Lower Oil in Thin Trading

Gold prices ended the U.S. day session modestly lower and closed at a fresh three-week low close in quieter trading Wednesday.

Lower crude oil prices were also a bearish “outside market” factor working against the precious metals markets Wednesday. Markets were also generally quiet overnight on this Christmas Eve day. Most U.S. markets closed early today and many traders and investors have already checked out for the week, if not for the rest of the year. February Comex gold was last down $2.80 at $1,175.20 an ounce. Spot gold was last down $2.00 at $1,175.40. March Comex silver last traded down $0.002 at $15.765 an ounce.
