The precious metals complex benefited from a weaker dollar and year-end bargain hunting. Gold sentiment softened as the dollar gained back some ground but the market remained bullish on platinum and palladium as a result of the SEC approval of the NY Arca exchange application for platinum and palladium ETFs in the US. Platinum approached the $1,500 level before following other equities lower, whilst palladium maintained its momentum to edge above $400 before year end.
