Markets are mostly pointing down as we head into the end of today's session, but Platinum gains 0.67% to top this list of the 3 biggest gainers at the moment.
The leading indices were losing ground — Live Cattle drawing back 1% to $163.55. Natural Gas trades at $2.25 after losing 5%.
This downslide might be related to financial indicators data published earlier as Crude Oil Inventories in United States fell short of market expectations (-1 million) with a reading of -4.58 million, continuing the decline from the previous figure of 597,000.
