The Gold price set a record high on Friday and broke for the first time more than $ 3,000 per Troy Ounce, while investors take into account President Trump's seesaw, fear of an economic delay and a sinking stock market.
Gold is often sought by investors as a safe haven in times of unrest, and the price has risen by around 14 percent this year. The S&P 500 index, on the other hand, fell in a correction on Thursday and fell by more than 10 percent in the past month, while investors are concerned about Mr Trump's economic agenda.
Market guards have upgraded their predictions and predicting that the rally has more room to run as a trade war driven by tit-by-tat rates between many of the world's greatest economies, makes the economic prospect darker.
Rounds of American rates were quickly received with taxes in retaliation by China, the European Union and Canada, stimulating further escalation of the White House. On Thursday, Mr. Trump threatened punishing rates on European wine, a movement that rattled producers and distributors on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
“Although general uncertainty and deteriorating economic vibes improve the interest in gold, the majority of Gold's price action around the uncertainty with regard to rates,” said Helima Croft, head of the global raw material strategy at RBC Capital Markets, in a research note.
There are also fear that rates will be applied directly to the import of gold, which leads to stocks in the United States. Recent trading statistics were skewed by a huge stream of gold from safes in London and refineries in Switzerland to American warehouses.
Central banks around the world have also been large buyers of gold in recent years, a longer current factor that increased prices. Diversity of gold reserves, which is seen as a store of value -free of geopolitical influence, is often described as a movement to reduce trust in dollars, American treasury and other assets foreign currency.
