    Safe-Haven Gold Gains Ground

    Spot gold gained 1% to $4,532.72 per ounce. Prices hit their ⁠lowest ‌in more than seven weeks earlier in the ⁠session. U.S. gold futures for June delivery rose 0.5% higher to $4,535.30.

    “Any type of resolution to the war or opening of the Strait of Hormuz would be a positive for the ⁠gold market in so much as the expectation would be that interest rates would decline, ‌and hence that would be opportunistic or helpful to ‌the gold market,” said ‌David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures.

    Citi said it was staying cautious near-term on gold with a zero to three-month point-price target of $4,300/oz.

    What is National Coin Week?

    The history of National Coin Week began in 1923, when American Numismatic Association Governor Julius Guttag suggested to the association’s President, Moritz Wormser, that a week-long event should be established “to attract the general public to our hobby and consequently increase our membership, and aid in our science.” That December, the first announcement of a “Coin Week” was made in The Numismatist and scheduled for the week of February 9-16, 1924.

    In 2026, America will celebrate 250 years of independence. This milestone invites us to reflect on the many ways money and freedom are connected.
