Review

Gold prices rose strongly yesterday near $1,900 an ounce, despite close expectations of monetary tightening policies from the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, exacerbating recent political tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine.

Russia has confirmed the start of its withdrawal from the Ukrainian border, as well as the Russian foreign minister's statements that there is an opportunity for understanding and resolving differences over the security guarantees file and Ukraine.

Russia is conducting misleading campaigns to cover up its possible attack on Ukraine, the State Department said, following up: Russia is spreading false rhetoric as a pretext for attacking Ukraine.

Such geopolitical tensions and expectations of US interest rate hikes affect sentiment in financial markets with anxiety and caution, as risk appetite recedes and investors are reluctant to take risk assets, prompting them to seek safe haven commodities, most notably gold, which is the safest value store.

On the other hand, the upcoming monetary tightening decisions will not affect gold as previously expected by markets due to the strength of current inflation, which appears to be more solid. For this reason, gold as a hedge against inflation may remain an appropriate option for a longer period.
