Gold prices above $3000 for the second time

ByVictoria

Gold prices scaled a record peak above the crucial $3,000-mark on Tuesday for the second time in a week, as investors sought cover from economic concerns fuelled by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies.

Spot gold rose 0.2% to $3,006.88 an ounce as of 0525 GMT after hitting a record high of $3,016.92 per ounce earlier in the session.

“Gold is moving higher on account of a weaker dollar and continued tariff uncertainties… With Gold at record highs there is a lot of technical and chart based buying that kicks in since there is no resistance apparent on the charts,” said Marex analyst Edward Meir.

Spot silver firmed 0.1% to $33.85 an ounce, platinum added 0.2% to $1,002.50 and palladium rose 0.4% to $968.96.

    President Trump will add copper to trade protection

    ByVictoria

    U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said nothing would stop President Donald Trump’s expanded 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum until U.S. domestic production is strengthened, and that Trump will add copper to his trade protections.

    “We can’t be in a war and rely on steel and aluminum from some other country. I mean, it’s just not reasonable,” Lutnick said. “So the president wants steel and aluminum in America, and let me be clear, nothing is going to stop that until we’ve got a big, strong domestic steel and aluminum capability. And by the way, he’s going to add copper to that mix too.”
