U.S. inflation reports provided significant support to precious metals markets.
Gold gained ground as traders focused on the strong pullback in Treasury yields, which was triggered by the weaker-than-expected inflation data from the U.S.
From the technical point of view, gold needs to settle above the resistance at $1975 – $1985 to have a chance to gain sustainable upside momentum.
Silver rallied as gold/silver ratio pulled back below the 85 level. Weak dollar and falling Treasury yields provided additional support to silver.
In case silver stays above the $23.00 level, it will get to the test of the next resistance at $23.40 – $23.60.
Platinum is up by almost 3% amid a broad rally in precious metals markets. Traders bet that Fed will start cutting rates in the first half of 2024.
If platinum settles above the resistance at $880 – $890, it will head towards the next resistance level, which is located in the $925 – $935 range.
