International gold prices hit a record high amid sustained safe haven demand as investors remained concerned over Trump’s plans to impose more trade tariffs in the coming days. Additionally, a weaker US dollar also supported the gold prices.
Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump said he plans to impose separate tariffs on electronics imports, and will also announce tariffs on pharmaceuticals soon.
In the coming days, investors will be looking forward to key economic data, including Eurozone inflation numbers, US core retail sales data, and initial jobless claims.
