    Gold and silver futures ended little changed on Thursday, retreating from early gains after a sharp afternoon fall in oil prices. The precious metals declined when oil plunged and the dollar rebounded. Gold and silver appear to be caught in trading ranges not far above the psychological $600 and $12 areas, respectively. Copper futures finished lower, but made an important technical move higher earlier in the day.
