The strong U.S. dollar puts pressure on gold and silver markets.
Gold remains under pressure as U.S. dollar continues to move higher against a broad basket of currencies.
Gold may receive some support near the 50 MA at $1950. A move below this level will push gold towards the next support in the $1935 – $1940 range.
Silver is losing ground as traders continue to take profits near multi-week highs.
Currently, silver is trying to settle below the $24.60 level. If this attempt is successful, silver will head towards the support at $24.00 – $24.20.
Platinum rebounds after yesterday’s pullback. Palladium is also moving higher, which shows that traders bet on rising industrial demand.
In case platinum gets back above the 50 MA at $985, it will move towards the 200 MA near the $1000 level.
