With economic instability looming, gold reaches record levels, attracting investors seeking a safe haven

The price of gold has surged to an unprecedented $3,508.50 per ounce as investors flock to the precious metal in search of safety amidst ongoing global economic challenges. The rise has been largely influenced by trade tensions and expectations of interest rate cuts in the U.S. market. Experts suggest that this trend reflects heightened concerns over U.S. monetary policy and geopolitical instability.

The price of gold has hit a record high as demand for the precious metal remains strong amid global economic uncertainty.

The spot gold price hit $3,508.50 per ounce early on Tuesday, continuing its upwards trend which has seen it rise by nearly a third this year.

The precious metal is viewed as a safer asset for investors during times of economic uncertainty, and its price rose earlier this year after US President Donald Trump announced wide-ranging tariffs which have upset global trade.

Analysts say the price has also been lifted by expectations that the US central bank will cut its key interest rate, making gold an even more attractive prospect for investors.

Adrian Ash, director of research at BullionVault, stated that the rise in gold prices is largely due to Trump's actions regarding geopolitics and global trade.

As worries over the independence of the US Federal Reserve grow, investors are increasingly turning to gold as a safe haven.

Increased demand from China and India for gold investment products further propels this trend, indicating a shift in consumer behavior amidst high prices.
