A lack of express promise for new austerity measures from Greece led to change of today’s euro zone Finance Ministers’ meeting into a teleconference. Investor worries got more support after Moody’s downgraded Spain and some other euro zone nations, leading to slight losses in gold and silver. Uncertainty seems still a prominent feature of euro zone debt. As such, SMM expects gold and silver prices to see lasting volatility in the near term and may more possibly show losses.
