Gold prices have surged to a new all-time high of US$4,700 per ounce, driven by a wave of investor demand for safe-haven assets. The sharp rise comes in response to renewed geopolitical tension and the threat of fresh trade tariffs, both of which have added uncertainty to the global investment landscape.
The latest price movement reflects a clear shift in market sentiment. Investors are reassessing risk as global headlines point to potential disruption in trade flows and heightened political friction. Gold’s traditional role as a defensive asset has returned to the forefront, with capital moving away from equities and into bullion.
Equities in major markets have come under pressure, while expectations for interest rate cuts have increased. Lower interest rates reduce the cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it more attractive in relative terms. At the same time, a softer US dollar has supported buying momentum, both from investors and central banks looking to diversify reserves.
