    Gold closed under the $630 level on Thursday, tracking the fall of oil prices, reflecting the relatively calmed international relations, easing the precious metal significance as the last resort to traders. Some analysts are of the opinion, though, that gold is building a base now for new heights that would hit the market later in the year. Silver, platinum, palladium and copper followed suit and also fell.
