Gold moved away from historic highs as traders focused on strong U.S. dollar, which gained ground after the release of ADP Employment Change report.
If gold settles back below the $2650 level, it may gain additional downside momentum and move towards the support at $2580 – $2590.
Silver continues its attempts to settle above the resistance at $31.45 – $31.75 as gold/silver ratio pulled back below the 84 level.
The technical picture remains unchanged, and silver needs to settle above $31.75 to gain sustainable upside momentum.
Platinum managed to climb above the $1000 level as traders ignored stronger dollar and rising Treasury yields.
A move above $1000 opens the way to the test of the nearest resistance level at $1020 – $1030.
