The gold
futures contract lost 0.08% on Wednesday, as it continued to trade within a short-term consolidation following the previous week’s Wednesday’s record-breaking advance above $1,600 mark that ended with a sharp intraday downturn. The market got close to the $1,570 level on Tuesday, before getting back below the
resistance level of $1,560. Yesterday, it has bounced off a $1,550 level.
The gold price is currently 0.3% lower, as it is extending the mentioned two-week long consolidation. What about the other precious metals? The
silver was relatively weaker than gold recently, as it failed to break above the last week’s Friday’s local high. Yesterday it gained 0.1% following Wednesday’s decline of 1.5%. The
platinum trades 1.0% lower but it remains above $1,000 mark, and the palladium gains 0.5% following the recent record-breaking rally.
