Gold ends up, but coverage stresses pullback risk amid firmer risk appetite and a steadier dollar

Gold closed at $3,287.45 an ounce, up 0.48% on the day, after a session where several outlets described a June pullback and traders weighing U.S. inflation-related developments. Silver was flat at $35.98, while platinum and palladium extended a strong 30-day run, though today’s reports were largely gold-focused.
