A lack of confidence for global economy due to worries towards a Greek default led many investors to close their positions in gold markets in order to fix liquidity shortages caused in other markets. Further margin hikes by precious metals exchanges also weighed on these metals’ prices. However, the announcement to expand EU rescue fund from 440 billion euro to 2 trillion euro helped gold and silver slightly rebound. Nevertheless, the two metals will remain weak in the short term before a practical solution is provided for the euro zone debt crisis.
