Gold prices rose today, April 7, following the release of the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) March meeting minutes, coinciding with the intensification of geopolitical tensions over Ukraine.

 

Notes from the Federal Reserve's March meeting showed that officials "generally agreed" to cut up to $95 billion a month from the central bank's asset holdings as another measure to combat the surging inflation.
