On Wednesday, and for a second straight session, platinum and palladium gained while gold and silver declined. Gold’s loss was its third in a row. The yellow metal also posted a new, just over two-week low. Silver, meanwhile, logged an almost two-year low.

Gold for August delivery declined $3.70, or 0.2%, to settle at $1,817.50 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The settlement was the weakest since June 14.

"Technically,August gold futures prices scored a mildly bearish ‘outside day’ down on the daily bar chart today. Bears have the overall near-term technical advantage. However, the recent sideways and choppy trading action at lower price levels is suggesting a market bottom is in place,” Jim Wyckoff, a senior analyst at Kitco Inc, said in a daily research note.

Gold futures traded between $1,810.70 and $1,834.90. They lost 0.2% on Tuesday and they shed 0.3% on Monday.

Silver for September delivery — the new, most-active contract — fell 13.4 cents, or 0.6%, to end at $20.738 an ounce. The settlement was the lowest since silver ended at $20.192 an ounce on July 20, 2020. Silver futures ranged from $20.61 to $21.07. They dropped 1.7% on Tuesday and they rose 0.2% on Monday.

In PGM futures on Wednesday:

  • October platinum added $4.30, or 0.5%, to $909.90 an ounce, trading between $905.20 and $933. On Monday, platinum at $900.30 an ounce marked its lowest settlement since Dec. 15.

  • Palladium for September delivery surged $84.70, or 4.6%, to $1,946.60 an ounce, ranging from $1,863 to $2,010.

Don’t worry (be happy), today Goldman Sachs raised its gold price forecast to $2,500/oz by year’s end.
