Gold has surged to a record high of $3,000 per troy ounce as tariff fears, inflation, and slower economic growth boost demand for the safe-haven asset. Demand for the precious metal has exploded since Donald Trump took office in January, rising +15.6% YTD while also pushed higher by expected interest rate cuts.
