Precious metals traded in opposite directions on Thursday, with gold retreating along with the euro and crude oil but silver rebounding. Copper kept on its losing streak and hit the lowest level since April. As for silver advances, it may be that investors are looking at the gold/silver ratio at this point. Silver had outperformed gold during much of late 2006. Whereas gold recovered at the end the previous year, traders may be starting to favor silver on the ratio again.
