That gain in Asia last night turned down quite badly but began a recovery before the opening in NYC.  While not in the green as yet, POG is down only about 12 dollars at the moment, and silver about a dollar - the upward trend of the last few months is not over. 

Check that.  POG is down less than 10 dollars, and silver less than 90 cents.  ....both may turn green soon at this rate. 

Meanwhile, copper is below 2.90.
