Gold prices rose again on Friday, boosted by demand for safe-haven assets amid uncertainty over US President Donald Trump’s plans to impose tariffs next week, which could fuel inflation, prompting many investors to turn to gold as a hedge against inflation.
Gold futures rose 0.5% to $3,029.30. "Investors are concerned about the global situation, especially U.S. policies," said Jeffrey Christian, managing partner at CPM Group. "They are buying gold as an alternative asset because they fear the U.S. government could push the global economy into recession."
Amid geopolitical tensions, Ukrainian and U.S. negotiators are scheduled to meet in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, following discussions between Russia and the U.S. on a proposal for a temporary ceasefire in the Black Sea. Washington hopes this will pave the way for broader peace talks.
Gold is widely seen as a hedge against geopolitical and economic uncertainty. It has risen more than 15% this year, hitting a record $3,057.21 an ounce on March 20.
President Trump said not all of the threatened tariffs would be implemented from April 2, and some countries could be exempted. The US government is considering a two-phase tariff schedule next week, according to the Financial Times. Trump's tax policies are expected to put pressure on economic growth, escalate trade tensions and push up inflation.
