Prithvi Commodities says that Gold and silver showed extreme volatility on Friday both the precious metals opened on a weaker note but rebound from their lows after disappointing U.S. retail sales and core retail sales data. The dollar index also plunged and benchmark 10-year bond yield off their highs after weaker than expected U.S. data. The U.S. retail sales were unchanged last month, following March’s revised increase of 10.7%; the data significantly missed expectations as economists were forecasting an increase of 1.0%. Meanwhile, core retail sales, which strip out auto sales, dropped 0.8% last month, following March’s rise of 8.4%. Core sales also missed expectations, with consensus forecasts calling for a 0.5% rise. Disappointing U.S. data pushed the dollar index lower and bond yield also plunged again and supported precious metal prices.
