Gold, silver weaker but up from session lows
Gold and silver prices are just modestly lower in midday U.S. trading Monday but are well up from early session lows. The safe-haven metals are seeing mild selling pressure to start the week due to improved trader/investor risk appetite in the general marketplace that last week pushed the major U.S. stock indexes to record highs. August gold was last down $8.30 at $3,334.90. September silver prices were last down $0.224 at $36.86.
