Gold Prices Slip From Firmer Levels To Trade Near Steady

New York (Dec 21)  Gold prices are trading down from modest earlier gains and are near unchanged levels in late-morning dealings Wednesday. A lack of fresh, bullish fundamental news continues to limit buying interest in the safe-haven metal. Fully bearish technical chart postures for gold and silver are also keeping chart-based sellers active. February gold was last up $0.10 an ounce at $1,333.80.

By noon EST spot gold was down $4 to $1,132, while spot silver was off more than 1% at $15.96. Spot platinum and palladium were also down about 1%.
