Platinum had a big range up day today, which was no surprise to anyone. January platinum closed $23.50 higher at $1682.10. Gold ended the week at an all-time high. Silver closed at a 30 year high. There may me some resistance above the $1690 level. But then again there may not be. The precious metals jinni is out of the bottle and he is mighty ready for total devastation. Volatility could be a killer but longs should be rewarded.
