Russia’s Central Bank Says It Will Stop Buying Gold at a Fixed Price

Russia’s central bank said on Thursday that due to a “significant change in market conditions” it would buy gold from commercial banks at a negotiated price from April 8.
On March 25, the bank had said it would buy gold at a fixed price of 5,000 rubles a gram until June 30.
