Gold at a Peak: Three-Month High Amid Dollar Weakness — 21 августа 2026 г. в 13:14:01.436
Gold at a Peak: Three-Month High Amid Dollar Weakness On Friday, gold rose to $4,601.29 per ounce — its highest since May — ending the week up 4.2%. COMEX futures reached $4,650.50. The move was driven by a weaker U.S. dollar and the failure of the U.S. Treasury’s plan to lower long-term borrowing costs. “Washington’s attempts to manage the debt market have backfired,” experts comment. Against this backdrop, Russia, which has been actively adding to its gold reserves, is strengthening its financial position. The shift away from the dollar in international settlements is becoming increasingly evident, and the precious metal is once again confirming its status as a reliable safe-haven asset. #Gold #Markets The main news of Russia and the world is here.
