Metals prices were higher Tuesday as the US dollar declined slightly in relation to the euro and yen in afternoon trade in New York.

October platinum was $16.70 higher to $2,088.70 per troy ounce on concerns about the effect of a smelter closure in South Africa on supply and on plans for upcoming strikes, also in South Africa.

August gold added $16.70 to $945 per troy ounce while September silver gained 77 cents to $18.28 per troy ounce.

Palladium, which is used in jewelry and in the manufacture of pollution control devices for cars and trucks, had added $2 to $466.75 per troy ounce in mid-morning trade in New York.

In base metals, copper prices were up on fears that supplies will tighten if production is reduced in Latin America in response to strikes after a new strike began in Peru on Monday and after union members in Mexico voted to walk out for an hour later in the week and approved a longer strike for later in the year.

September copper was up 3 cents to $3.91 per pound in New York, while three-month copper added $96 to $8,606 per tonne, or $3.90 per pound, in London.
