Gold edges off 8-week low
Indian customers browse items at a jewelery shop
London - Arab Today
Gold edged off the previous day’s eight-week low on Wednesday as US President Trump’s abrupt firing of FBI chief James Comey weighed on US stocks, though gains were capped by expectations of further interest rate increases.
Spot gold was up 0.2 percent at $1,223.42 an ounce by 1405 GMT, while US gold futures for June delivery gained $7.20 to $1,223.40. The metal has slipped sharply in the past week as concerns about this month’s French elections and North Korea’s nuclear program faded, slipping to its lowest since mid-March at $1,213.81 on Tuesday. “(This) looks like an attempt at stabilization today after the sharp losses in the preceding days,” Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch said.
“Trump’s firing of FBI Chief Comey adds new uncertainty, (and) stock markets seem to pause.”
Gains in gold remained muted as expectations for further US monetary policy tightening next month underpinned the dollar and weighed on bullion.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led hisGMT 09:22 2018 Monday ,22 January
