Demand for precious metals is rising as traders focus on the strong pullback in Treasury yields.
Gold moved above the $1910 level as traders focused on weaker dollar and lower Treasury yields.
In case gold stays above the $1910 level, it will head towards the resistance at $1935 – $1940.
Silver gained strong upside momentum as gold/silver ratio fell below the 79 level. I have recently shared my views that gold/silver ratio may decline towards the 78 level, and this scenario is in play.
Gold/silver ratio has strong support in the 78 – 79 range, and it remains to be seen whether silver will be able to gain additional upside momentum in the near term, although RSI remains in the moderate territory.
Platinum has also moved higher amid rising demand for precious metals.
A successful test of the resistance at $925 – $935 will push platinum towards the next resistance level, which is located in the $975 – $985 range.
