Gold prices hit new peak after 8 consecutive weeks of increase
Gary Wagner, a commodity broker and market analyst, told Kitco that gold prices have increased for the eighth consecutive week, pushing the precious metal to unprecedented highs thanks to increased global uncertainty and central banks stepping up buying.
The April gold futures closed at $2,950 an ounce, up $26.3 a week and hit an all-time high of $2,973.4 an ounce on Thursday.
Since December 30, 2024, gold has shown remarkable strength, recording an increase of more than 300 USD/ounce. Especially in recent days, gold prices have remained stable near record levels, with a rather narrow range of fluctuations between trading sessions.
Gold's continued increase was largely driven by increased safe-haven demand, as geopolitical tensions and policy uncertainties grew. See more...
