February gold is now trading well below its three-month support level. This will inevitably affect platinum and palladium prices. Today April platinum settled at $1803.50, up $6.60 but it won’t last. Even though platinum has plenty of technical support before hitting its Maginot line at $1640, the established downtrend in gold should prove too heavy a counterweight.
Wait for a good buy day at lower prices.
