The strong dollar put pressure on gold and platinum, while silver managed to gain some ground as gold/silver ratio declined.
Silver gained ground despite stronger dollar and higher Treasury yields as gold/silver ratio moved closer to the 80 level. From a big picture point of view, silver continues to face strong resistance in the $24.00 – $24.50 range, and it will need additional catalysts to settle above this resistance area.
Platinum gained strong downside momentum and moved below the 50 EMA. Currently, it is trying to settle below $1020. In case this attempt is successful, platinum will get to the test of the psychologically important $1000 level.
