The precious metals complex is showing mixed performance as of 9 AM ET on April 22, 2026:
Gold: $4,753.20/oz (Down 0.76%)
Silver: $78.01/oz (Down 1.18%)
Platinum: $2,092.90/oz (Up 0.21%)
Palladium: $1,582.00/oz (Down 0.44%)
The overarching narrative today is one of macro-driven volatility. While gold and silver are pulling back due to a stronger U.S. dollar and higher yields, platinum is showing strength amid supply-side concerns. Investors are currently hyper-focused on the upcoming Federal Reserve commentary and the potential for persistent inflation tied to crude oil disruptions in the Middle East.
