The gold futures contract gained 1.10% on Thursday, as it retraced more of the short-term decline from last Friday’s high of $2,089.20. The market fell 10.3% off that new price record. Gold reversed sharply lower following last week’s Nonfarm Payrolls release, among other factors. Wednesday’s-Thursday’s bounce looks like an upward correction, as we can see on the daily chart:

Gold is 0.3% lower this morning, as it continues to trade along $1,950 price level. What about the other precious metals? Silver gained 6.69% on Thursday and today it is 2.6% lower. Platinum gained 2.48% and today it is 0.7% lower. Palladium gained 2.24% on Thursday and today it’s 0.2% higher. So precious metals are mixed this morning.
