- Gold price - $1,338.10
- Silver price - $25.61
- Platinum price - $1,642.20
- Palladium price - $657.50
COMMENTARY: With all the news about the problems in Ireland and the European debt crisis, many of us wonder why this should matter to us. Did we avoid a run at the bank only to confront a run on countries? The US Dollar has weakened in early trading and precious metal prices are mixed, as both Silver and Palladium show some nice gains, while Gold and Platinum small losses. Gold spot price is down $2.60 – Silver price is up 26 cents – Platinum spot price is down $5.70 – Palladium price is up $7.30
