Markets: The US stock market is closed for Presidents Day today, but investors will certainly have the Monday Scaries due to unanswered questions around inflation and the Russia–Ukraine crisis. One asset that’s doing particularly well amid the tensions is gold, which is considered a hedge against geopolitical conflicts. The metal’s price has increased in 12 of the last 15 trading sessions, and is hovering at levels not seen since last June.
