Sanctions, terminated contracts, and a plummeting currency – Russia is facing the financial crisis specter. Can gold also be affected? In the medium term, even painfully.

Last week's action saw gold holding firm into early-week, with that action seeing the metal spiking all the way up to an Thursday overnight high of 1976.50 - coming on the heels of the Russia/Ukraine news. From there, however, a sharp decline was seen into the daily...
