Gold prices jumped on Monday amid increased demand for protective assets due to high geopolitical tensions on the border of Russia and Ukraine. In particular, the precious metal quotes reached the level of $1.864.85 per ounce, which became a three-month high. Over the weekend, it became known that the adviser to the American president on national security, Jake Sullivan, said that Russia has the opportunity to attack Ukraine without waiting for the end of the Olympics in Beijing. After that, a telephone conversation took place between the Presidents of the United States and Russia Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin, but he could not ease the tension. The American president ruled out the possibility of sending American soldiers to Ukraine, but threatened Moscow with large-scale sanctions in the event of an invasion. At the same time, Russia continues to deny its intention to attack Ukraine. Despite the departure of investors in the assets of the «safe haven», the growth of gold is restrained by the strengthening of the dollar. The dollar is also considered a reliable asset, plus it receives support due to expectations of an imminent increase in the base interest rate of the US Federal Reserve System.
