Gold and Silver Retreat

Gold and silver prices edged lower Tuesday, as a slightly stronger dollar and slipping oil prices encouraged metals traders to pause and take profits. Data-related dollar gains and modest profit-taking in the energy sector have triggered a bout of liquidation across the precious complex today, although dips in all metals have found good support. The approaching end of the quarter and year is another influence.
