Easy To Push Around Thin Markets

The metals seemed destined for a quiet day yesterday - that was until Saudi Arabia reaffirmed that it would not curtail oil output to support slumping prices. The oil traders began to sell and crude dropped $2 at one point yesterday. The combination of the weaker oil price, surging equity values and a stronger dollar proved an irresistible lure for metals traders that sold into a very thin market. Gold gave up some $28 and silver some 50 cents before bargain hunters entered the trade. Overnight, a moderate bounce in oil created some muted buying interest in the metals. This morning the market looks to open with a firmer bias coming into the last full trading day before Christmas.
