                          <span>Gold is currently trading around it&#8217;s support of $1673. In</span><span>order to confirm the next bullish run, Gold needs to close above</span><span>$1703. Despite the Chinese New Year, physical demand in Asia is lower</span><span>due to the increase in Gold import duty by the Indian Government.</span><span>Gold&#8217;s YTD (year to date) performance is currently 1%.</span>
                        </p>

                        <p>
                          <span>Silver has mirrored Gold over the past two weeks. As expected, the</span><span>physical demand for 2013 issue coins has been very strong. The supply</span><span>from the US Mint has now stabilised and Silver Eagles are slowly coming</span><span>back into stock. Silver&#8217;s YTD performance is currently 6.2%</span>
                        </p>

                        <p>
                          <span>The PGMS (Platinum Group Metals) have been an interesting play.</span><span>Historically, the investment demand for these metals has been very</span><span>thin both in the paper market and for physical. </span><span>Reasons for this are that the availability of physical investment Platinum</span><span>and Palladium has been sporadic and the spreads on small bars are</span><span>typically double those of Gold and Silver bullion. Spreads and market</span><span>depth aside, Platinum has appreciated 23% since July 2012, YTD</span><span>performance is currently 6.75%. Palladium has appreciated 35% since</span><span>July 2012, YTD performance is currently 8%.</span>
                        </p>

                        <p>
                          <span>The driving force behind the massive appreciation of the the PGMS is</span><span>the ongoing production issues in South Africa which produces three</span><span>quarters of the worlds Platinum and is the second largest producer of</span><span>Palladium after Russia. Until the labour issues are resolved, it is</span><span>likely that there will be a continued shortage of PGMS in the</span><span>marketplace. It is the confirmed physical shortage of these metals</span><span>that have resulted in the dramatic price increases.</span>
