    Gold in demand, up .1%

    Gold prices touched a three-week high on Monday, supported by demand for safe-haven bullion after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 30% tariff on imports from the European Union and Mexico.

    Spot gold was up 0.1% at $3,359.69 per ounce, as of 0637 GMT, after hitting its highest point since June 23 earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures rose 0.3% to $3,373.30.

    “We are seeing safe-haven demand coming back into the picture due to this uncertainty on the implementation of U.S. global trade tariffs policy,” OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong said.

    “Near-term outlook looks positive for gold and if gold prices are able to have a daily close above $3,360, it could potentially advance higher towards the next resistance level at $3,435.”

    Spot silver gained 1.5% to $38.93 per ounce, platinum fell 1% to $1,384.81 and palladium fell 0.7% to $1,208.15.

    “I recommend buying assets that track the price of gold… Inflation had been on an upward trend, but the lower-than-expected reading in February added more uncertainty to investors. Additionally, recession fears could lead the Fed to cut interest rates. All these uncertainties drive up gold prices,”

    B2Gold moving forward with investment of $10m at the Fekola gold complex in Mali

    The decision follows a settlement with the Malian Government over its 2023 mining code, which has reduced the risk of disruption.

    B2Gold CEO Clive Johnson said: “From a B2Gold perspective, we have seen a reduction in risk since the signing of our settlement agreement.”

    “We have expatriate employees that move in and out of the country regularly, including some of the mine management, so there is no reason to think that any detention would ever be contemplated as it relates to B2Gold,” Johnson added.
