Gold adds to record rally amid trade war
Spot gold was up 0.8% at $2,864 per ounce by 09:24 a.m. ET (1424 GMT), after hitting a record high of $2,877 earlier in the session.
“Gold continues to be largely influenced by trade uncertainties… the tariffs with China and the retaliation has the market on edge, so safe-haven flows remain the dominant factor,” said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals.
Spot silver rose 0.4% to $32.23 per ounce, platinum gained 1.6% to $979.40 and palladium added 0.4% to $994.75.
