Gold pulls back as traders focus on stronger U.S. dollar and Powell’s hawkish remarks.
From a big picture point of view, traders used Powell’s comments as an excuse to take some profits off the table after the strong rally.
Silver is losing some ground as Treasury yields move higher and U.S. dollar tests weekly highs.
From the technical point of view, silver needs to settle above the resistance at $44.25 – $44.50 to gain additional upside momentum in the near term.
Platinum made an attempt to settle above the $1500 level but lost momentum and pulled back.
If platinum settles back below $1475, it will head towards the nearest support at $1450 – $1455.
