(Kitco News) – Gold and silver prices are up just a bit in early U.S. trading Monday. Surprisingly, risk aversion is not highly elevated after the weekend U.S. military strikes on Iran’s nuclear plants. Reads a DowJones Newswires headline today: “Markets amazingly calm after U.S. attacks on Iran.” I’ve been a full-time markets watcher for 40 years, and I would call today “eerily calm.” August gold was last up $7.50 at $3,393.20. July silver prices were last up $0.108 at $36.125.
