Gold Logs First Loss in Eight Sessions

4

Precious metals posted losses on Tuesday that ranged from 0.7% for both gold and platinum to 4% for palladium. Gold’s decline was its first in eight sessions, and after scoring a nearly three-month high on Monday.

Gold for April delivery shed $13.20 to settle at $1,856.20 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.

"Gold prices backed off from a nearly three-month high scored overnight, as risk appetite in the marketplace up-ticked Tuesday as geopolitical tensions have eased just a bit … for now. Rising U.S. Treasury yields and sharply lower oil prices are also negatives for the precious metals on this day” Jim Wyckoff, a senior analyst at Kitco Inc, said in a daily research note.

Gold futures traded between $1,845.40 and $1,881.60. They climbed 1.5% on Monday to register their best settlement since Nov. 17.

Silver for March declined 50.6 cents, or 2.1%, to settle at $23.342 an ounce. Silver futures ranged from $23.11 to $24.02. They surged 2.1% on Monday, for their highest close since Jan. 25.

In other precious metals futures prices Tuesday:

  • April platinum fell $7.60 to $1,020.40 an ounce, trading between $1,005.50 and $1,035.

  • Palladium for March delivery dropped $93.70, or 4%, to $2,252.30 an ounce, ranging from $2,187.50 to $2,373.50.
