Platinum made a significant advance Monday as speculative buying continued in otherwise quiet trading conditions. Gold and silver futures consolidated in relatively narrow ranges. The metals advanced modestly much of the session after Asian stocks rose overnight. The U.S. stock market was also stronger as the gold pits were closing. Energy stocks finished mostly lower with gasoline bucking the trend. Arabica coffee futures ended weaker as well as raw sugar futures.
