Silver

Silver found support near $21.15 and rebounded towards the $21.65 level. RSI is close to the oversold territory, so the risks of a sustainable rebound are increasing. However, it’s too early to tell whether silver markets are ready for such a rebound as today’s move was triggered by a technical pullback in Treasury yields.

Platinum

Platinum failed to settle below the $900 level and rebounded towards the $920 level. It looks that platinum has found significant support near the $900 level and may try to form a bottom. However, the potential continuation of the current trend in the U.S. dollar may present a significant problem for the bulls.
