Increasing appetite for risky assets, easing trade tensions and still high 10-year US treasuries yield at 4.5% are still pressuring momentum on gold (GOLD), which is losing 2.1% today. Today, Donald Trump announced that there can be news about Russia-Ukraine, however we cannot predict will the news be positive (potentially pressuring gold) or negative (potentially supporting gold). Russia and Ukraine are set for their first high-level face-to-face talks since 2022 in Turkey, this week. Markets are waiting for the results, which may affect especially oil and gold prices.
