Platinum price - $1,701.30

COMMENTARY: Precious metals prices held their early morning gains throughout the day. The driving force was the Chinese decision not to raise interest rates. A weaker US Dollar also factored in to today’s trades.Bailing out Greece and Ireland is one thing, but the real concern is Spain. If it gets to that, and there are many who think it will, go long gold!
Gold spot price is up $10.30 – Silver spot is up 98 cents – Platinum spot price is up $25.00 – Palladium price is up $25.30
For thousands of years Precious Metals (PM) such as Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag) have been utilized as real money for exchange, wealth store, and metric of value. While I am NOT an advocate of one single commodity backing our money (like a gold standard), I do believe that the price trend of PMs are the most important indicators of the value of fiat money, plus the crimes of corrupt banking corporations and governments that manipulate PM prices. The "Canary in the coal mine" is Gold - AuCanary.
