Gold prices ended the U.S. day session slightly down but up from the daily bottom that saw prices hit a three-week low early on. The gold bulls have faded a bit recently and need a fresh dose of bullish fundamental news to jolt the market out of its recent downward bias. June Comex gold futures were last down $1.80 an ounce at $1,251.10. July Comex silver was last down $0.097 at $16.44 an ounce.
