This has led to a rapid increase in the demand for gold as a safe investment.Market experts' opinion:
- Increasing threat of inflation: There is a possibility of rising inflation due to trade tariffs, which has increased the attractiveness of gold.
- Central bank purchases: Global central banks are constantly buying gold, which keeps its prices strong.
- Weakness of the dollar: Weakness in the US dollar is also making gold more expensive.
