TREE NEWS reports: Spot gold gained 0.03% to $4,142.46 an ounce at the New York close on Monday, October 5, after tracing an M-shaped session that peaked at a daily high of $4,170.41 at 16:16 Beijing time and fell to $4,123.44 by 23:22. Spot silver rose 1.18% to $61.0753 an ounce, COMEX copper futures gained 1.36% to $6.6380 a pound, and the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index slipped 0.32% to 2,505.24.
Gold Closes Near Flat at $4,142/oz; Silver Rises 1.18%
The divergence matters more than the flat gold print: silver and copper both closed higher while gold miners fell, a split that suggests industrial-demand sentiment is running ahead of the monetary hedge trade. Gold's M-shaped session, spiking in Beijing hours and fading into the New York close, hints that Asian buying is being met by Western selling. Whether silver's outperformance and the miners' weakness keep diverging is the open question.
