Gold enjoyed a good run on Tuesday, reaching seven-month highs as prices are now knocking against the $1300/ ounce mark. A slump in the dollar, particularly against the yen (as well as a general basket of currencies), helped boost gold, as did a number of budding geopolitical headlines. However, in the rest of the precious group, we saw much more measured gains; silver closed up only $.12/ounce, while platinum and palladium were each up by $5/ounce and $8/ ounce respectively.
