Gold Prices Rise for Fifth Week Amid Iran-Israel Tensions Gold prices continued their upward trend, marking a fifth consecutive week of gains as investors sought refuge in the safe-haven asset amid escalating Middle East tensions between Iran and Israel. On Friday, spot gold increased by 0.1% to $2,380.68 per ounce and had earlier reached up to $2,417.59. The overall gain for the week was over 1%. U.S. gold futures also saw a rise of 0.1%, standing at $2,396.60. Tensions heightened following reported explosions in an Iranian city, attributed to an Israeli attack, although Iran downplayed the incident, suggesting no immediate retaliation. Analyst Peter Fertig highlighted that these geopolitical uncertainties are bolstering gold’s status as a safe-haven investment. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold vs. Silver [The 5 Differences That Matter Most to Investors] READ MORE Gold and Silver: Preppers' Choice for Weathering Uncertainty READ MORE Fed's Bostic Warns: No Quick Path to Interest Rate Cuts READ MORE Unexpected Dip in US Jobless Claims Signals Robust Labor Market READ MORE Gold Surges as Weak US Jobs Data Fuels Rate Cut Expectations READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
