On the NYME, platinum has been the big mover in the precious metals lately. Traders have linked the movement to options-related activity and unsubstantiated rumors about a platinum exchange-trade fund. On Wednesday, platinum closed lower, just one day after the January futures nearly hit an all-time high. December gold initially rose but backed off to settle slightly higher. Silver and copper futures settled down, as well as palladium.
