Gold, <b>Silver Prices</b> Fall; US Gold and Silver Coins Surge | Coin News Posted: 29 Apr 2014 01:53 PM PDT U.S. Mint sales surged for gold and silver coins Gold prices ended lower for a second straight session Tuesday after rising in the previous three. Gold for June delivery shed $2.70, or 0.2%, to finish at $1,296.30 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold prices traded from a low of $1,286.10 to a high of $1,302. "Rumbling in the background there are still tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine … but we are seeing some pre-selling ahead of the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee meeting) and the non-farm payrolls," Reuters quoted Societe Generale analyst Robin Bhar. "These are both expected to be generally upbeat on the economy … therefore that is going to be bearish for gold." The FOMC meeting ends on Wednesday while the U.S. monthly jobs report is due for release on Friday.
