The precious metals space has shown particular weakness over the past few months.
That said, precious metals prices have been trading sideways for a month (since hitting a near-term low in mid-August), and this has given the life to a bounce/rally in the Metals & Mining Sector (XME).
The question now: Is the bounce over for the Metals & Mining Sector and stocks?
