Gold is down 1.3 percent, silver is off 1.4 percent, platinum is down 1.3 percent, and copper is down 0.5 percent. Palladium is however up 0.40 percent.

Gold had its "biggest one day rally in three months" yesterday, according to Reuters, after Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed was committed to easy monetary policy during his testimony.

But gold prices are down today as investors are concerned about the precious metals outlook in the long-term and after ETF holdings saw outflows, according to Reuters.
