Precious metals were mixed on Monday amid broadly weaker US Dollar and safe-haven demand after Cyprus said it would levy bank deposit taxes. Meanwhile, market players remained cautious ahead of a two-day Fed policy meeting scheduled to start on Wednesday.

Gold hit almost a two-week high amid concerns that bailout conditions for Cyprus will impact smaller depositors and push the Eurozone deeper into recession. Moreover, the yellow metal drew strength from robust physical demand from central banks and jewelry producers.

Silver rose, tracking gold's advancement and greenback's weakness. Meanwhile, experts predict an increase in industrial usage of silver. Industrial demand for the precious metal may attain 483 million ounces in the period between 2012 and 2014, up 53% from the average fabrication demand in 1992-2001.

Platinum and Palladium dipped after South African Chamber of Mines and unions agreed to discuss an introduction of centralized wage bargaining. However, losses were limited by signs of growing investment demand. Platinum ETP holdings climbed 0.4% to reach a record of 5.83 metric tonnes last week.
