Palladium advanced on Monday while gold, silver and platinum declined. Silver logged a more than four-month low. Gold settled near 3-month low.

Gold for June delivery fell $24.20, or 1.3%, to settle at $1,858.60 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The settlement was the lowest since Feb. 15 when gold ended at $1,856.20 an ounce.

"Rising bond yields are once again hitting the precious metals. Sharply lower crude oil prices today are also a negative for the metals markets,” Jim Wyckoff, a senior analyst at Kitco Inc, said in a daily research note.

Gold futures ranged from $1,854.80 to $1,885.60. They fell 1.5% last week.
