Gold futures closed seven straight trading days higher, most recently reaching a three-month high, as tensions in Ukraine continued to fuel safe-haven buying of gold.
Investors remain concerned about tensions in Ukraine after senior U.S. officials warned that Russia could invade Ukraine at any time.
Investors also have expectations meanwhile that the Fed will raise interest rates this year after the United States reported the highest inflation rate in 40 years with good employment numbers.
CME Group’s FedWatch tool indicates a 55% probability that the Fed will raise rates this year, starting in March.
