The gold
futures contract gained 0.37% on Wednesday as it continued to fluctuate after reaching new monthly high of $1,775.80 on Monday. It has retraced almost all of its downward
correction from April 14 high of $1,788.80. The market is extending over month-long consolidation, as we can see on the daily chart:
Gold is 0.5% lower today and it remains close to yesterday’s daily low. What about the other precious metals?:
Silver gained 0.73% on Wednesday and today it is 1.3% lower.
Platinum gained 5.05% and today it is 1.8% lower.
Palladium gained 4.08% and today it is declining by 1.86.
So precious metals are trading within a short-term correction this morning.
