Globally, spot gold broke above the psychological milestone of $4,600 an ounce on Monday for the first time, as safe-haven demand and expectations of rate cuts kept bullion a favoured asset.
It was trading at $4,568.13 per ounce, up 1.31 per cent at 9am UAE time, driven by geopolitical and economic uncertainties and growing bets around interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve.
Some of the key factors driving precious metals are growing risks of US strikes on Iran due to protests in the Persian country, as US President Donald Trump has threatened to hit Iran a few times.
In addition, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said he is under federal criminal investigation related to the $2.5 billion renovation of the central bank’s headquarters. This also sent jitters among investors on Monday morning.
The Fed chief called it a "pretext" of the government aimed at putting further pressure on the central bank to lower rates.

Dispelling nine myths about women’s health concerns
Women’s health is understudied and, in many respects, poorly understood. Even the term “women’s health” is often used as a synonym for obstetrics and gynecology, though women’s reproductive years end in midlife and their reproductive organs make up a fraction of their bodies.Because of limited research, many women and even many doctors don’t always know how symptoms present in common conditions (sleep apnea, for instance) or how to recognize and treat ones that disproportionately affect women (l

太陽光発電とは ～基礎知識～補助・支援政策
1. 太陽光発電の仕組み太陽光発電（ソーラー発電、光伏発電）は、太陽の光（光子）が太陽電池（PVモジュール）に当たることで、内部の半導体材料（一般的にはシリコン）が光起電力効果によって電子を動かし、直流電流を生じさせる技術です。生成された直流電力は、インバータ（変換装置） によって家庭で使える交流電力に変換され、家電製品の電源として利用されます。余剰分は電力系統（電力会社の電力網）に売電（系統電力へ供給）することもできます。2. 利点と課題利点再生可能エネルギーであり、温室効果ガス排出が少ない日射さえあれば発電可能で、地域分散型電源としての導入が期待される自給率向上、電気代削減、災害時のバックアップ電源としての役割課題・注意点日射量に依存するため、夜間や曇天時には発電量が低下設備導入コスト（モジュール、架台、設置工事、インバータ、配線、申請費用など）がかかる屋根の強度、方角・傾斜、影の影響、接続・許認可系統手続などの制約3. 導入モデルの類型自家消費型（自己利用重視型）：発電した電力をまず自宅で消費し、不足分や余剰分を系統に売買全量売電型：発電した電力をすべて電力会社に売電 （日本では

不要品を処分する方法の違い
生活の中で不要品が増えたとき、処分方法に迷う人は多いでしょう。主な選択肢として挙げられるのが、「買取」「回収」「寄付」です。買取は、まだ使える品物をお金に換えられる点が魅力です。ブランド品や家電、状態の良い家具などは、思わぬ価格がつくこともあります。ただし、すべての品が対象になるわけではありません。回収は、量が多い場合や大型の物がある場合に便利です。手間をかけずに処分できる一方で、費用が発生するケースもあります。寄付は、まだ使える物を必要とする人や団体に届けられる方法です。金銭的な見返りはありませんが、社会貢献につながる選択肢として注目されています。不要品の処分で大切なのは、「何を優先したいか」を考えることです。手軽さ、費用、社会的意義など、自分に合った方法を選ぶことで、納得のいく整理ができます。
