The risk aversion caused by geopolitical factors such as the situation in Ukraine began to subside. The Russian central bank said that from the 15th, it would suspend the purchase of gold from credit institutions; High inflation concerns in Europe and the United States began to rise. The Federal Reserve may raise interest rates for the first time since December 2018, raising the federal funds rate from 0% since the pandemic to 0.25%.
