Gold prices rallied Wednesday to log their highest settlement since late January as tensions over Syria lifted demand for the haven metal. Prices then moved lower after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s March meeting reinforced the view that more interest-rate hikes are on tap. June gold GCM8, +0.59% rose $14.10, or 1.1%, to settle at $1,360 an ounce. That was the highest finish since Jan. 25, according to FactSet data. In electronic trading, prices were at $1,358 shortly after the Fed minutes.
