The precious metals complex is showing mixed performance at 9:00 AM ET today, May 14, 2026, with safe-haven assets gaining ground while industrial metals take a breather. The current spot prices and 24-hour percentage changes are:
Gold: $4,714.10 / oz (+0.35% from $4,697.60)
Silver: $86.80 / oz (-0.30% from $87.06)
Platinum: $2,105.50 / oz (-1.24% from $2,132.00)
Palladium: $1,475.50 / oz (-1.57% from $1,499.00)
The primary market catalyst causing this divergence is macroeconomic anxiety. Stubborn U.S. inflation data (3.8% CPI and 6% PPI) has reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rates. This is prompting a flight to quality that lifts gold, while putting temporary pressure on industrial-heavy PGMs (platinum group metals) and silver.
