2010

by Peter LaTona October 25, 2010

At 12PM (CT) the APMEX spot prices were:

Gold - $1,336.30
Silver - $23.52
Platinum - $1,695.90
Palladium - $611.00

COMMENTARY:The price of gold, silver, platinum and palladium have retreated from earlier morning highs, but gains are still substantial. Gold spot is up $10.70 – Silver spot price up 38 cents – Platinum spot up $21.80 = Palladium spot up $17.90. Good news - existing home sales rose 10%, which was the biggest monthly gain in 28 years. Bad news - it is was still the third worst sales month on record. Investors are closely watching for more information on the current “foreclosure mess”. Are banks foreclosing on properties they do not actually own? There will be more to come.
