According to FactSet, prices for front-month gold futures contracts are down 19% since notching near-record highs in March—right after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Geldart declined comment on the alleged assault or the state of his residency, but said the resignation was necessary. “I no longer wanted to be a distraction to the vitally important work of the public safety agencies of the district government,” he said to NBC Washington. City administrator Kevin Donahue will act as interim deputy mayor.
