Did the Unrest in Turkey Give Buoyancy to Gold?

Did the Unrest in Turkey Give Buoyancy to Gold?

Gold prices rebounded on Thursday, May 24, and futures contracts for June delivery rose 0.5% from the previous day’s close of $1,296.2 an ounce. Spot gold entered the $1,300 territory as the US dollar got weak. Adding to the global tensions, Turkey (TUR) was in focus yesterday with its currency, the lira, dropping almost 2% after a huge emergency interest rate hike failed to ameliorate its problems.
