Bullion prices ended lower at Comex on Thursday, 27 June 2019. Gold futures finished lower on Thursday, suffering back-to-back losses after the haven metal scored a nearly six-year high early in the week.

August gold edged down by $3.40, or 0.2%, to settle at $1,412 an ounce. Silver contract fell 8.1 cents, or 0.5%, to $15.294 an ounce

The yield on the 10-year note fell below 2% in recent sessions.
