Gold closes week down amid optimism on Wall Street 🗽Lack of progress in Russia-Ukraine talks did not help
Gold is ending the week lower as demand for risk assets continues and the S&P 500 looks to close out another week of gains on Wall Street. The lack of a negotiated ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul has not lifted gold prices, which remain below $3,200 an ounce. Gold is down nearly 1.7% today and, alongside silver, which is selling off 1.3%, contrasts with the gains seen in stocks.
