The US Treasury implemented a 2022 action that immobilized Russian central-bank assets held in the United States or by U.S. persons. This occurred while the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) held an expo in Mumbai. AMFI reported that gold and silver exchange-traded funds in India saw record inflows in January, with demand linked to geopolitical uncertainty and industrial needs, respectively.
