Gold, Silver Surge Dec 01, 5:22 AM EST

Gold and silver futures advanced due to bouncing back oil prices and weakening US dollar.

Gold and silver prices soared to multi-month highs Thursday, as funds bought into the market on rebounding oil prices and a softening U.S. dollar. There was a little help from the crude market. Firmness from the crude will continue to leak into the other commodity markets, particularly gold. Platinum, palladium and copper also rose, as well as crude oil futures which topped $63 a barrel and finished at their highest level in more than 2 months.

Gold Finished Lower on Profit -Taking Nov 30, 5:03 AM EST

Gold futures declined on Wednesday, as traders took more profits from increases earlier in the week.

The dollar probed higher as gold was about to close Wednesday. Just before the close of gold, the euro hit a low for the day after reaching a high earlier. Thus, gold went from being 50 cents lower to roughly $2 lower just ahead of the final bell. The very late move in the dollar prompted a little bit of selling. Silver was the the most impacted on the market because silver had put in a pretty good session all day.

Gold Declines on Profit-Booking Nov 29, 5:20 AM EST

Gold prices declined Tuesday, as traders took profits from recent rises, while silver advanced.

While the dollar has been weaker, some selling of gold may have begun as the U.S. currency showed at least some signs of stabilizing after morning comments from the Treasury Secretary. A strong dollar is clearly in the interest of the US. The complexion of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke statements may have contributed to the tendency to take profits.The Fed chief did not appear to be overly worried about the slowdown in the economy.

Dollar Weakness Leads Gold, Silver Higher Nov 28, 5:12 AM EST

Gold and silver prices advanced on Monday, mainly in reaction to a sharply weaker U.S. dollar.

The dollar and in turn gold appear be taking a brief pause from their big moves late last week ahead of a speech on Tuesday by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. The possibility of further dollar weakness should continue to support buying of gold. Copper futures closed higher Monday after catching up to gains seen in the London market at the end of last week. Platinum and palladium settled lower.

Precious Metals up on Dollar Weakness Nov 27, 5:21 AM EST

Gold futures rallied Friday as the dollar tumbled against the euro and an almost two-year low against the British pound.

The greenback decline was due to concerns about flagging economic growth in the U.S. Platinum continued its trend of extreme volatility, rising $34 in the Friday session alone. The NYME was closed for trading Friday, leaving the electronic Chicago Board of Trade contract as only way to trade the precious metal. It was the first time the CBOT contract had been open while NYME was closed.

Gold Firms Up Nov 24, 5:30 AM EST

Gold rose slightly, as the dollar fell against other major currencies, enhancing appeal of the precious metal as an alternative investment.

The weaker dollar helped to push gold prices higher. However, gold traded in a pretty narrow range on Thursday and had been consolidating. No dramatic moves are expected in the last weeks of the year, though. Still, gold may not be able to rise above $636, given the lack of trading from the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. Platinum gained after tumbling this week from record highs.

Platinum Retreats, Gold Edges Higher Nov 23, 5:12 AM EST

Platinum closed lower Wednesday when lease rates declined and traders liquidated, while gold and silver futures gave up early gains.

On the NYME, platinum has been the big mover in the precious metals lately. Traders have linked the movement to options-related activity and unsubstantiated rumors about a platinum exchange-trade fund. On Wednesday, platinum closed lower, just one day after the January futures nearly hit an all-time high. December gold initially rose but backed off to settle slightly higher. Silver and copper futures settled down, as well as palladium.

Platinum Surges Nov 21, 5:18 AM EST

Platinum futures surged Monday due to developing supply tightness, options-related activity, and fund and speculative buying.

Industrial demand for platinum usage in catalytic converters and electronics has been supportive for the market. There has been a steady influx of demand, while supply is rather tight, relative to demand. Demand for auto catalysts was forecast to rise 15% this year. Gold, as well as silver slipped yesterday, while palladium advanced. Arabica coffee and raw sugar settled higher, while oil prices declined below $59 a barrel.

Gold Rebounds Nov 20, 5:17 AM EST

Gold bounced back Friday after falling earlier in the day, tracking movements in the energy and currency markets.

Initially gold sold off as energy prices weakened and the dollar climbed. But then as the dollar pulled back and oil prices pulled up, gold recovered. There is a general sentiment that December gold support area is $615-$618. There is also some feeling that gold could move higher into the end of the year. Platinum and copper rose on Friday too while silver slipped.
