Ravi Singh, Vice-President and Head of Research, ShareIndia, said, "The ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine is riding high for gold and crude oil prices. The U.S. and European Union have levied sanctions on Russia's biggest banks and its elite, frozen the assets of the country's central bank located outside the country and excluded its financial institutions from the SWIFT bank messaging system - but have largely allowed its oil and natural gas to continue to flow freely to the rest of the world. Gold may continue to be in bullish trend till the situation stabilizes."
