Gold
Gold moved back above the $1915 level as the U.S. dollar pulled back against a broad basket of currencies. Treasury yields moved higher in today’s trading session, but this move did not put pressure on precious metals. If gold settles above $1915, it will head towards the next resistance at $1930.
Silver
Silver received support near the $23.15 level and moved back above the $23.50 level. The nearest resistance for silver is located at the 20 EMA at $23.65. If silver settles above this level, it will move towards the next resistance at $24.00.
Palladium
Palladium rebounded above the $1750 level after an unsuccessful attempt to settle below $1700. From a big picture point of view, palladium is stuck in the wide $1630 – $1830 range. Palladium has been extremely volatile within this range, so traders should be careful when taking positions between $1630 and $1830. At this point, it looks that palladium will need additional catalysts to gain sustainable momentum and move out of the $1630 – $1830 range.
