Gold futures for February delivery down 60 cents at $1,104.20 an ounce on the COMEX division of the New York Mercantile Exchange by 11:10 am EST (1610 GMT).
GOLD: Ranged from $1,102.10 to $1,114.50. Trading volume thin as markets in Britain, Canada and Australia are shut for the observed Boxing Day holiday. Higher oil prices provide underlying support - traders. Spot gold at $1,104.10, up from Thursday's late quote of $1,103.80 an ounce. COMEX's estimated trading volume in gold at 44,042 lots by 10 am.

PLATINUM: NYMEX January platinum up $15.10, or 1 percent, to $1,483 an ounce, extending the previous session's sharp rally. Investor sentiment bullish on expected regulatory approval of the first US platinum ETF.

Spot platinum was at $1,481 an ounce.
PALLADIUM: March palladium up 75 cents at $390.40 an ounce. Spot palladium was at $385 an ounce.
