Gold broke below the recent trading range, it’s trading closer to the $1,750 level again.
The gold futures contract lost 0.72% on Thursday, November 17, as it retraced some of the recent advances after breaking below its short-term consolidation along the $1,780 price level.

This morning gold is trading along its yesterday’s closing price, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):
Today, gold price is 0.1% higher, as it is trading along the $1,760 level. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 1.0% higher, platinum is unchanged and palladium is 1.5% lower. So the main precious metals’ prices are mixed this morning.
