$GLD and $SLV Prices as of August 21 2017 @moneymetals

August 21, 2017 -- Gold and silver prices lost a bit of ground in last week's trading. Fears over North Korea subsided slightly and better-than-expected retail sales data took wind out of the sails of safe-haven assets.
However, North Korea may find its way back into the news this week. President Kim Jong-un once again threatened nuclear war with the U.S. over the weekend. The latest provocation is a joint military drill scheduled for Monday between South Korea and the U.S.
Economic news will center on real estate, the PMI (Purchasing Manager's Index) and sales of durable goods.
However, this data will probably be overshadowed by politics. There is never a dull moment in Washington these days. Wall Street simply cannot compete with a number of developing stories – more on those below.
