Gold rose 0.54% to 4,094 and silver 0.85% to 63.91 on Wednesday, a faint bounce off deep lows that left both metals far below the lines they broke, still trapped in their slide.

Gold and silver prices fell further Tuesday after declining late last week.

Gold edged up to about 4,343 and silver to 68.34 on Tuesday, a first steadying after last week's rout, with gold climbing back to test the long-term line it had broken from below.
