(Kitco News) - Comex December gold futures prices ended the U.S. day session sharply lower and near the daily low. Early safe-haven buying gave way to heavy selling pressure that was due to strong gains in the U.S. dollar index, sharp losses in crude oil and other commodity markets, profit-taking pressure and weak-handed long liquidation. Even though this week is starting out as a "risk off" trader and investor mentality in the market place, safe-haven gold could not benefit from it Monday. December gold last traded down $35.00 an ounce at $1,779.70 an ounce. Spot gold last traded down $35.60 an ounce at $1,777.50. December Comex silver last traded down $1.561 at $39.265 an ounce.

For thousands of years Precious Metals (PM) such as Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag) have been utilized as real money for exchange, wealth store, and metric of value. While I am NOT an advocate of one single commodity backing our money (like a gold standard), I do believe that the price trend of PMs are the most important indicators of the value of fiat money, plus the crimes of corrupt banking corporations and governments that manipulate PM prices. The "Canary in the coal mine" is Gold - AuCanary.
