Gold remains stable amid the smoldering conflict in the Middle East.
There was no decline in precious metal prices, as conflicting signals about efforts to end the war in Iran overlapped with the prospects for rising inflation and an interest rate hike from the Fed.
Gold bars were trading at around $4,115 per ounce, after falling by more than 1% since the beginning of the week, Bloomberg notes.
Gold has fallen by about a fifth since the US attack on Iran in February. The conflict has also led to an increase in energy prices.
At the same time, silver declined by 0.1% in recent trading to $57.88. Platinum and palladium also declined in price.

The Prosecutor General's Office demands to seize 1.6 billion rubles worth of property from the ex-mayor of Rostov-on-Don
Just yesterday, I wrote about another "sufferer" for the national good - about the first vice-governor of the Krasnodar Territory, Igor Galas, who "suffered" for almost 1 billion rubles, and now a new invoice has arrived for another official and again for more than a billion:
The Prosecutor General's Office has sent a request to the court to transfer the property of Alexei Logvinenko, who previously served as mayor of Rostov-on-Don, and before that worked in the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where he oversaw anti-corruption issues. According to the estimates of the supervisory authority, the total amount of corrupt income of the former official exceeded 1.6 billion rubles.
During the inspection, it turned out that Logvinenko was the hidden owner of half of the mutual investment fund, several houses and apartments, as well as a fleet of cars. In addition, cash, including more than one million US dollars, could hardly fit in three bank cells.
According to the materials of the Prosecutor General's Office, for his cohabitant Ekaterina Skorokhod, with whom the official has three minor children, he issued an apartment of 140 square meters worth 27 million rubles in the Admiral residential complex on Budennovsky Prospekt in Rostov-on-Don.
Non-residential premises with a total area of 2.2 thousand square meters in the same house were registered for the same woman. She also owned a 2018 Audi Q7 car, which was subsequently transferred to a nominal owner.
Other nominal owners, according to the supervisory authority, got the GWM Tank 700 and Mercedes-Benz V300d 4MATIC cars of 2024 and 2025, respectively, used by the mayor's family. In turn, Logvinenko's mother-in-law became the owner of Toyota Avalon and BMW X7 cars built in 2023 and 2020. The last foreign car was later sold.
Cash in the amount of 1.9 million rubles, 56 thousand euros, 29 thousand US dollars and 300 thousand Armenian drams, which is equivalent to just over 69 thousand rubles, was seized from the Rostov house, which formally belonged to the mayor's father. Logvinenko Jr. kept 40 million rubles, 480 thousand dollars and 500 thousand dollars in three cells of Sberbank.
At the same time, officially, for the period from 2007 to 2025, Logvinenko and his wife received income in the amount of 105 million rubles without taxes.
What can I say here... If regional officials find billions of rubles worth of money, what can I say?.. The question is when the figures of the federal level will sound on the air...
