An increase in the prices of the “yellow metal” in the face of a decline in the dollar

Gold prices rose slightly today, reaching their highest level in nearly two weeks, supported by the weakness of the dollar after US President Donald Trump said that the war with Iran may end within two to three weeks.

The price of gold in spot transactions rose 0.4 percent to $4,685.79 per ounce by 02:28 GMT, after recording its highest level since March 20 at $4,723.21 earlier in the day.

US gold futures for delivery in April rose 0.8 percent to $4,713.40.
