What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Gold edged higher in Asian trade, partly attributed to market chatter regarding a Donald Trump energy ceasefire. However, Kyiv reported that Russia struck a power plant in Kharkiv hours after the truce was announced. The Kremlin has not commented, and the terms of the truce were disputed before the day was out. US CPI and risks associated with Saudi Arabia are cited as stronger market drivers.
