Silver is losing ground as traders focus on the strong sell-off in gold markets.
Currently, silver is trying to settle below the support at $28.75 – $29.00. In case this attempt is successful, it will head towards the next support level at $27.20 – $27.50.
Platinum pulls back as demand for precious metals declines. Rising Treasury yields and stronger dollar serve as additional bearish catalysts for platinum markets.
If platinum settles below $960, it will move towards the nearest support level at $935 – $940.
