The pullback in Treasury yields provided support to precious metals.
U.S. dollar moved away from session highs, which was also bullish for gold, silver, and platinum.
It remains to be seen whether precious metals markets are ready for a material rebound ahead of the weekend.
Gold
Gold 170223 Daily Chart
Gold moved away from session lows amid a pullback in Treasury yields. U.S. dollar has also pulled back from session highs, which was bullish for gold and other precious metals.
Silver
Silver 170223 Daily Chart
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 170223 Daily Chart
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.
