Today gold is 0.7% lower. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 1.2% lower, platinum is 1.4% lower and palladium is 1.9% lower today. So precious metals are lower this morning.

Yesterday’s Building Permits and Housing Starts releases have been slightly worse than expected. But the markets have reacted to the FOMC Statement announcement at 2:00 p.m. The Fed increased its interest rate paid on required and excess reserve balances from 0.10% to 0.15%.

Today we will get the Unemployment Claims and Philly Fed Manufacturing Index releases. We will also have the Bank of Japan Monetary Policy Statement later in the day.

But we’ve had an increased volatility following coronavirus fear then.
