Gold futures edged back early Thursday, giving up some of its gains after the precious metal scored another settlement at the highest since September 2011, but silver and platinum futures were staging a sharp advance. Precious metals have mostly benefited from expectations for a lengthy period of government and central bank stimulus to support economies harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but some analysts say that July also has been a seasonally strong period for gold due to heightened physical...
