NEW YORK, July 6 (UPI) -- Gold prices dropped Friday for the second day, shedding $30.50 to settle at $1,578.90 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.

"We are seeing weaker and negative sentiment following the jobs report," Savant said.
Silver prices also fell, losing 75 cents to close at $26.92 an ounce
