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.
