Market Analyst Insights: Dh1 per Gram

Ipek Ozkardeskaya, a senior analyst at Swissquote Bank, suggested that while the situation in the Middle East may worsen, the market’s perception of the news will gradually diminish, and risk assets such as gold and the Swiss franc will eventually lose their gains.
