(Kitco News), Thurs. Feb. 11th, 2021) – Gold futures prices are trading solidly lower and near daily lows in midday U.S. action Thursday. Silver prices are slightly lower. The shorter-term futures traders jumped on the sell side in gold today amid a lack of fresh, bullish fundamental news. April gold futureswere last down $17.10 at $1,825.60 and March Comex silver was last down $0.123 at $26.95 an ounce. 

Gold and silver traders are looking for a new fundamental spark to break prices out of their near-term trading ranges.

Global stock markets were mostly higher overnight. U.S. stock indexes are mixed at midday but near record highs scored this week. Declining Covid-19 infection rates in the U.S. amid ramped up vaccinations, as well as a new government pandemic relief package likely coming for Americans soon, have lifted trader and investor risk appetite recently, which is a negative for the safe-haven metals.

The Chinese Lunar New Year holiday began today and markets in mainland China will be closed the next several days.
