Commodities like gold, silver and oil are on the back foot this morning as markets digest the weekend’s Trump/Putin meeting.
There were no major breakthroughs, no concessions, which means there isn’t a whole lot for markets to get excited about. However, Oil started the week with a gap to the downside, and as the Asia-Pac session has progressed, we’ve seen some downside in gold and silver as well.

When it comes to gold and silver, the reaction function to this is less clear.
