This historic surge is largely attributed to investors seeking safe-haven assets amid escalating trade tensions and economic uncertainties.

Gold prices are influenced by various factors, including geopolitical events, inflation expectations, and currency fluctuations. The recent escalation in trade disputes, particularly President Trump’s announcement of potential 200% tariffs on European beverage imports, has heightened economic uncertainty, prompting investors to flock to gold.

Analysts suggest that if these economic and geopolitical tensions persist, gold may continue its upward trajectory. However, it’s essential to recognize that gold markets can be volatile, and prices may fluctuate based on changing global conditions.
