Gold
Gold 161023 Daily Chart
Gold is moving lower as traders take some profits off the table after the strong rally. However, demand for safe-haven assets may stay strong as tensions in the Middle East are increasing.
In case gold manages to settle above the resistance at $1935 – $1945, it will head towards the next resistance level, which is located in the $1975 – $1985 range.
Silver
Silver 161023 Daily Chart
Silver is also moving lower amid profit-taking. Rising Treasury yields have put some pressure on silver markets.
RSI remains in the moderate territory, so there is plenty of room to gain additional upside momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.
Platinum
Platinum 161023 Daily Chart
Platinum tests resistance at $880 – $890 as the rebound continues. Platinum did not enjoy a strong rally in recent trading sessions, and it looks that some traders are using it as a catch-up play.
A move above the $890 level will open the way to the test of the resistance at $925 – $935.
