Gravity recovered its force today, tugging New York spot gold downward by $88.80 to $4,236.50 to end the week.

(KNT) shed $2.21 to $19.05 on 2.74 million shares, Americas Gold and Silver Corp. (USA) lost 62 cents to $6.29 on 3.18 million shares and Silver X Mining Corp. (AGX) slid five cents to 60 cents on 7.11 million shares.

(WDO), which ended the day down $1.86 to $22.73 on 1.57 million shares, took a five-minute timeout in midmorning at $23.13 because it had been as low as $21.02 just a few minutes before.
