Gold prices rise higher, tariff concerns

ByVictoria

Gold prices ticked higher on Tuesday as focus turned to U.S. jobs and inflation data, that could influence the Federal Reserve’s policy decision in the face of rising economic growth concerns. 

Spot gold (XAUUSD:CUR) +0.93% to $2,911.21 an ounce after hitting its lowest since March 3 in the previous session.

Meanwhile, worries over Trump’s tariff policies have also pushed safe-haven gold to a record high of $2,956.15 on February 24, as the metal is seen as a hedge against political risks and inflation.

    Robert Kiyosaki urges investors to ditch “fake money” and start saving silver, gold, and Bitcoin — calling silver the top asset for the next two months and predicting it could hit $200.
