Gold Approaches New Heights as Dollar Falters
Gold prices surged to a record $4,376 per ounce, briefly touching $4,400, before settling at $4,253 amid a minor correction. Silver followed suit, dropping 4.84% from its peak of $54.55 to $51.91. The rally underscores the volatility of precious metals and their inverse relationship with the dollar.
A weakening U.S. dollar has fueled demand for gold as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Global economic uncertainty, expansive fiscal policies, and geopolitical tensions have intensified this trend. Central banks and investors are increasingly turning to gold as a SAFE haven.
