COMMENTARY: The US Dollar continues to be the driving factor in the price of gold and other precious metals. The chatter around the G20 will fade quickly, as the market is more interested in upcoming US Elections and Quantitative Easing. Palladium is on a role and could extend the 9-year high hit today on demand and continued concerns on supply. Today’s $10 billion auction of five-year Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) received such a strong reception, that the resulting yield was negative for the first time. This is a strong indication that investors expect inflation to rebound as the Fed QE revives the economy.
For the day, Gold spot price is up $14.60 – Silver spot price is up 53 cents – Platinum spot price is up $26.90 – Palladium spot price is up $18.90
Many investors are increasing their Palladium positions with 10oz Palladium bars and Kilo Palladium bars.
