COMMENTARY:Today was a day of choppy trading in both the equity and precious metals markets. Early in the day, indicators pointed to an increase in consumer confidence and then housing prices in 20 US cities rose less than forecasted and consumer confidence drops. This is a market looking for direction. The exception is Palladium, which continues to rise on supply side concerns. Gold spot is up $6 from our Morning Commentary – Silver spot price is up 52 cents – Platinum spot price is up $7.50 and Palladium spot is up $21.80.
For those wishing to take advantage of the uptick in Palladium, the Palladium Canadian Maple Leaf is the popular choice.
