Gold has shifted away from its record peak levels as the U.S. dollar bounces back from its weekly decline following the release of U.S. Retail Sales figures. If gold drops below $2550, it may target the support zone of $2520 – $2530. Meanwhile, silver is seeing a decrease as traders take profits after a strong uptrend. A drop below $30.50 could send silver towards $30.00, with further downside potential towards the $28.75 – $29.00 support range. Platinum is facing selling pressure in the precious metals sector. Should it successfully test and breach the $975 – $985 support level, the next target could be $935 – $940.
