Gold pares gains; silver dulls as platinum sinks
Gold futures rose Wednesday but closed well below the day's peak, and silver prices retreated from their highest level in more than two months as the metals took their cue from platinum futures, which sank more than 5%.
Speculation about the possible launch of a platinum-based exchange-traded fund continued to evaporate after Barclays, the bank behind the silver ETF, said it has no such plan.
Meanwhile, platinum for January delivery closed down $65.10 at $1,154 an ounce, after earlier falling to a low of $1,145. On Tuesday, the contract closed with a loss of more than $15 as doubts about an ETF began to surface.
Spot prices had vaulted to an all-time high above $1,400 early in the session as the speculation hit its peak. |
