 We had a very quiet start to the week in the precious metals complex as gold finished slightly higher despite a firmer tone in both US equities and the dollar. We suspect that this was due in part to the exaggerated selloff the complex experienced on Friday after some 40,000 lots traded in the span of just a few minutes. Silver tacked on $.16 and is now back over the $17/ounce mark, while both platinum and palladium ended quietly mixed.
