Although there has been further deterioration on the COT, this does not necessarily mean that the gold and silver markets are headed down aggressively from current levels, but it does wave a big warning flag at this point.  KWN will continue to let our global readers know what is happening with commercial positions in the precious metals.  In the meantime, it will be very interesting to see how both the gold and silver markets trade in the coming weeks.
