Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group discusses the seasonal pattern in precious metals, expecting gold and silver to consolidate in a volatile sideways pattern over the summer before rising after August. He views the current dip as a buying opportunity for intermediate-term investors. Platinum and palladium are weaker due to industrial demand concerns. Central banks act as value buyers, not price supporters, and a large contango indicates ample physical supply.
