The weak exports data from China put significant pressure on silver and platinum markets.
Gold is losing ground as traders focus on the broad pullback in precious metals markets.
In case gold stays below the $1975 level, it will have a good chance to get to the test of the next support at $1940 – $1950.
Silver pulls back as traders react to the disappointing economic data from China. The country’s exports declined by 6.4% year-over-year in October, indicating that the economy remained under material pressure.
If silver settles below the support at $22.25 – $22.50, it will head towards the next support level, which is located in the $20.70 – $21.00 range.
Platinum is also losing ground as traders focus on the problems of China’s economy.
A move below the support at $880 – $890 will open the way to the test of the next support level at $850 – $860.
