(1888PressRelease) October 09, 2011 - MIAMI, FL - All the precious metals showed substantial gains again today as the stock market soared. Not surprisingly, the biggest gains were in the white metals with platinum and palladium gaining $33 and $29 respectively. For palladium, particularly, this is a noticeable rise in percentage terms. Increased confidence in the economy will obviously be reflected in increased demand for the platinum group metals, which are used in the manufacture of catalytic converters. Silver, which benefits from both safe-haven and industrial demand was up $1.43, almost 5%.
Normally, an increase in stocks would cause gold to move in the opposite direction, yet gold is also moving upwards, albeit more slowly than the white metals. The likeliest explanation is that there is no longer any need for investors to sell their gold bullion holdings to raise cash.
The ongoing concerns in Europe, with the Bank of England now declaring that it will leave interest rates unchanged as the country struggles to fight off a recession, mean that gold will continue to be highly attractive to investors as a safe haven.
"The Bank of England announcement came as something of a surprise but it simply adds further support for gold as a safe haven," says Bill Hionas of Pan American Metals of Miami. "The white metals are all showing substantial gains today as the stock market has soared, restoring consumer confidence."
