Metals: Gold hits nearly three-week high§§§--=--§§§<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,serif">On Wednesday, gold prices reached their highest level in nearly three weeks. Markets are re-evaluating short-term risks after US President Donald Trump agreed to suspend bombings and attacks against Iran for two weeks. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,serif">&nbsp;</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,serif">Spot gold rose 2.3% to $4,812.49 an ounce at 2:15 GMT. Earlier in the session, the yellow metal had climbed more than 3% to reach its highest level since March 19. US gold futures for June delivery advanced 3.4% to $4,841.60.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,serif">According to Tai Wong, an independent metals trader, "this is an immediate relief rally, and it remains to be seen whether Iran will comply with the demand. For gold, the 200-day moving average, at $4,930 and then $5,000, will be a major hurdle. Similarly, the $80-81 level is important for silver." <o:p></o:p></span></p><p> <span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,serif; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:FR; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">Among other metals, spot silver prices rose 4.9% to $76.48 an ounce, platinum advanced 3.2% to $2,020.57, and palladium increased 4.1% to $1,529.35.</span></p>
