    Platinum surged in New York on Monday on fund buying on a day when global activity was lighter than usual as the market in U.K. was closed for public holiday. Gold and silver edged higher but held in narrow ranges, supported by the continuing weakness of the U.S. dollar. Copper futures ended lower after a strike ended in Peru and some traders took profits.
