Gold’s Roller‑Coaster Ride Keeps Going
Gold’s prices have been on a steady streak for two days straight, peaking near historic highs and marking its seventh consecutive weekly gain. Investors are treating the metal like the ultimate safety net, latching onto it amid worries about U.S. trade policy and fresh tariff talk under President Trump.
What’s Fuelling the Gold Buzz?
- Trump’s Tariff Review – The new supply‑chain directive sparked fears that trade tensions could flare up, pushing buyers back into gold’s warm embrace.
- Strong Producer Inflation – The latest data came in hotter than expected, which, paired with a stronger-than-anticipated consumer inflation read, nudged the market toward a more hawkish Fed outlook.
- Central Bank Buying – Even with high rates looming, major banks are stirring the pot, keeping gold in the mix.
- Weak US Dollar – As the dollar takes a dip, gold jacks up—because a weaker dollar makes the metal cheaper for international investors.
