22

In futures trading Tuesday, silver declined while gold, platinum and palladium advanced. Gains in gold and platinum were their first in six sessions. Gold also bounced above $1,900 an ounce and from a more than two-month low.

Gold for June delivery rose $8.10, or 0.4%, to settle at $1,904.10 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.

"Gold prices are a modestly higher in midday U.S. Trading Tuesday and are trading back above $1,900.00 as the bulls are trying to stop the bleeding after the recent downdraft that saw the market hit a nine-week low Monday. Short covering in the futures market and some perceived bargain hunting in the cash market were featured," Jim Wyckoff, a senior analyst at Kitco Inc, said in a daily research note.

Gold futures traded between $1,896.30 and $1,912.20. They fell 2% on Monday, for their lowest settlement since Feb. 25.
