Safe-Haven Demand Drives Gold Closer to Peak Amid Middle East Unrest As tensions escalate in the Middle East following Iran’s extensive drone and missile attacks on Israel, gold prices are approaching new record highs due to increased safe-haven demand. On Monday, gold prices rose by 1.7%, nearing last week’s record of over $2,400 per ounce, though the price later settled lower as investors adjusted their positions amidst overheated rally indicators. The ongoing geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East and Ukraine further enhance gold’s appeal as a safe investment during times of crisis. Chris Weston of Pepperstone Group emphasizes that the geopolitical tensions alone are a compelling reason to invest in gold, anticipating a continued upward trajectory in its price. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Your Ultimate Guide to the Gold Market READ MORE Treasury Yields Drop as Inflation Data Bolsters Rate Cut Hopes READ MORE Gold's Long-Term Strength Predicted to Persist READ MORE US Dollar Dominates Amid Global Economic Shifts READ MORE Morgan Stanley Forecasts Gold Price to $2,600 READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
