Prices of precious metals plummeted on Thursday as investors were forced to sell their metals in order to raise cash amid falling equities markets and a growing credit crisis.
December gold dropped $21.70 in New York to $658 per troy ounce, its biggest one-day percentage loss since the beginning of October 2006.
September silver prices fell $1.06 to $11.495 per troy ounce, a decline of 8.4 percent on the session.
Platinum and palladium were also both lower in New York, with October platinum dropping 3.3 percent or $41.50 to $1,230 per troy ounce and September palladium falling 4.5 percent, or $22.65, to $327.85 per troy ounce.
