The gold futures contract gained 0.66% on Monday, as it continued to fluctuate following the recent advance. Recently gold was retracing a rally from around $1,800 to August 7 record high of $2,089.20 in reaction to U.S. dollar advance, among other factors. Then gold has bounced from the support level marked by mid-August local low of around $1,875, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
Gold is unchanged this morning, as it is still trading within a short-term consolidation. What about the other precious metals? Silver gained 2.21% on Monday and today it is 0.3% lower. Platinum gained 1.49% and today it is 1.6% lower. Palladium gained 2.30% on Monday and today it is unchanged. So precious metals are mixed this morning.
