Starting with the computer algorithm 'fat finger' which took down both gold and silver nearly 2% in less than a minute a little more than a week ago, to the continuing beatdown in prices since the Fed raised interest rates, the short-term outlook for the precious metals have not been strong despite the fact they should be going in the opposite direction of the falling dollar.
