Today’s market shows a mixed performance across the four major metals as of 9 AM ET:
Gold: $4,710.70 (-0.10%)
Silver: $85.08 (+0.88%)
Platinum: $2,127.00 (+1.98%)
Palladium: $1,507.00 (-0.99%)
The divergence in prices highlights a market caught between monetary pressures (high inflation and a strong dollar) and industrial optimism (US-China trade negotiations). While gold and palladium are slightly lower, silver and platinum have found gains as manufacturing-heavy sectors look toward potential trade breakthroughs in Seoul and Beijing later this week.
