Gold was just shy of $5,000 per ounce, while platinum soared 5% to a new all-time high. Not a precious metal, but maybe soon to become one at this pace, copper rose 2.5% to just below a record high.

Crypto-related stocks moved lower as well. A certain compliance platform (COIN) was down 2.6%, while MicroStrategy (MSTR) slid 1.2%. Bitcoin miners Riot Platforms (RIOT) and Marathon Holdings (MARA) posted 2% declines.

The decline in crypto also came as U.S. stocks brushed off early losses to turn mostly higher, with the Nasdaq ahead 0.4% despite a 15% post-earnings plunge in Intel (INTC).
