A recovery of the US economy will mean end of the Fed's easing activities that are supportive for precious metals. However, losses were limited by hopes the ECB and BOJ will provide additional monetary stimulus.

Silver was flat, balancing between signs of robust investment demand and weakness in gold prices. Silver ETPs holdings jumped 0.3% to attain a record of 19,708 metric tonnes on Wednesday.

Platinum and Palladium declined on solid US Dollar and worries that the Fed may end its growth-boosting measures sooner than expected. At the same time, persistent deficit on physical markets as well as robust car demand across the globe continued to lend support for the metals.
