Expect gold, silver prices to trade lower: Angel

Angel Commodities' report on bullion

Bullion

Gold

On Wednesday, spot gold prices gained marginally by 0.23 percent to close at $1157.9/oz. Prices reversed after touching a four-month low as markets watched the tumble in Chinese stock markets and the unfolding Greek debt crisis.

The price of the yellow metal did not react to the June U.S. Federal Reserve policy meeting minutes that showed officials saying they needed to see more signs of a strengthening U.S. economy before raising interest rates.
