Unfortunately, the crowd’s attention has moved to silver with spot silver recording 9% gains in early London trading on Monday.

Strategists at ING said the rise in silver is "a standout" in a relatively subdued opening for commodity and FX markets this week.

Against a basket of peers, the dollar traded flat. The index that measures its strength has been largely range-bound in recent weeks, after bouncing from a nearly three-year low of 89.206 at the start of the year.
