“Slip slidin' away. You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip slidin' away”
-Paul Simon.

Today was another mixed bag in the precious metals’ markets, with gold and platinum closing higher on the day, and silver and palladium trading lower.

There is solid support for gold as multiple factors shape market sentiment resulting in a much more bullish undertone. For the second day in a row gold is trading moderately higher, gaining over six dollars today matching its gains yesterday.
