Recent close values for Gold, Silver, and Platinum were in the red. A majority
of precious metal commodities fell lower during the last trading session in the
United States as investors turned their attention away from safe haven asset
investing and towards stronger anticipated earnings reports this week. Gold for
February delivery recently fell into the red by 26.50 with a last floor trade of
$1,360.50 an ounce for February contract delivery. Silver fell by .943 and
dropped to a floor price of $28.32 an ounce for March delivery. Platinum dropped
by 5.20 to a floor price of $1,816 an ounce for April delivery. Copper moved
higher by .035 and ended with a floor price of $4.41 per pound for March
delivery. The one month change for Gold is negative by 1.45% but for the year
overall it is positive by 20.07%. The one month change for Silver is negative by
2.93% but positive by a staggering 51.69 percent for the year change. Platinums
one month change is in the green by 6.03% and the one year change is positive by
11.89% overall. Copper has been moving forward consistently as well. Coppers one
month change is in the green by 5.03% and for its one year change, it is
positive by 28.27%. Many analysts believe that the growing demand stemming from
India and China will continue to place upward pressure on the price of precious
metals like gold and that values will continue to bump higher in 2011. Author:
