Gold declined as easing worries over Cyprus bailout dampened safe haven appeal of the yellow metal. However, gold may draw strength from bright demand prospects in India.

Platinum and Palladium jumped on improved risk appetite after Cyprus proposed the new bailout plan. Moreover, the precious metals were supported by deficit concerns and expectations of robust automobile demand across the globe.
