Gold above $ 4,400 per ounce in global market
The price of gold reached above $ 4,400 an ounce in the international market on Friday, after a sharp fall in the previous session. This increase came after US President Donald Trump extended the deadline set to end the war with Iran. Trump said that he would not attack Iranian energy facilities and that the sanctions would remain in effect until April 6. This provided some relief to the markets, which had been volatile for almost a month due to the ongoing conflict. At the same time, Iran confirmed that it has rejected the US’s 15-point plan and presented its own conditions, which include recognizing Tehran’s jurisdiction over Hormuz. The price of gold fell nearly 3% on Thursday as there were doubts over the possibility of a ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran any time soon.
