Gold FuturesDue to the attraction of gold as a safe-haven investment being increased by U.S. and U.K. airstrikes in Yemen in response to Houthi rebel attacks on ships in the Red Sea, gold futures saw a strong rally today, which led prices to turn higher for the week. Friday saw a 1% increase in gold prices to a one-week high as speculations that the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates sooner were bolstered by worse U.S. producer price index data and the intensification of the Middle East conflict.
