Gold and silver were flat Monday after a raucous end to last week — although news of the eurozone bailout seemed to breathe new life into precious metal markets on Friday, investors were relatively cautious today despite more talk of QE3.

Spot gold finished down 0.1% at the end of Monday’s trading, with a final bid of $1,596.90 per ounce. The high touched $1,604.40, and the low hit $1,587.80, according to Kitco market data.

Spot silver showed marginal gains, with a final bid of $27.52. Monday’s high for silver prices reached $27.74, and the low was $27.25.

Gold bullion ended at $1,600 per ounce for Monday’s trading session in London — the same place where it ended Friday, according to BullionVault.

“Gold still remains in the same range since early May,” according to technical analysts at bullion bank Scotia Mocatta, who added that gold “would have to move above trendline resistance [at $1624] to reverse the bearish posture.”
