Silver gained strong downside momentum and moved towards the $23.00 level.
Gold remains stuck near the support at $1935 – $1940 as U.S. dollar is mostly flat against a broad basket of currencies. Interestingly, gold traders have mostly ignored rising Treasury yields in today’s trading session.
In case gold manages to settle above the $1940 level, it will head towards the resistance in the $1975 – $1985 range.
Silver found itself under strong pressure as the pullback continued. Gold/silver ratio rallied towards the 83.50 level, which was bearish for silver.
A move below the $23.00 level will open the way to the test of the next support level, which is located in the $22.15 – $22.35 area.
Platinum continues its attempts to settle back above the resistance at $925 – $935. However, it remains to be seen whether bulls will find positive catalysts in the near term.
In case platinum fails to climb back above the $935 level, it will move towards the support at $890 – $900.
