Profit-taking by shorts started Thursday following a three-day drop in gold and silver prices and after Fitch Ratings, following Standard & Poor’s, lifted Greek debt rating and provided a positive outlook. IMF’s approval of EUR 28 billion loan to Greece also helped ease the market sentiment. Consequently a recovery has set in following previous plunges.
