Why Is Gold Surging Again-And Could Trade Policy Uncertainty Push Prices Even Higher?
Source: Kapitales Research
Highlights:
Gold rose about 2.3% to nearly $US5224 an ounce at the time of writing, extending its recent winning streak as investors sought safe-haven assets.
Uncertainty around US trade policy and new tariff plans weakened the US dollar, boosting global demand for bullion.
Analysts say geopolitical tensions and cautious sentiment toward bonds and currencies continue to support gold’s medium-term outlook.
Safe-Haven Demand Drives Fresh Rally
Gold prices climbed strongly after recording three consecutive weeks of gains, as uncertainty around US trade policy unsettled global markets. At the time of writing, bullion was trading about 2.3% higher near $US5224 an ounce, supported by a weaker US dollar and rising investor demand for defensive assets.
The news has already been widely covered across global financial media, highlighting how renewed tariff debates and legal developments in the US are driving safe-haven flows into precious metals.
Tariff Decisions and Dollar Weakness Fuel Momentum
Market sentiment shifted after US President Donald Trump announced plans for a temporary 15% global tariff following a Supreme Court ruling that challenged earlier trade measures. The decision created uncertainty about global trade dynamics and the US fiscal outlook, prompting investors to seek protection in gold. A softer dollar also made bullion more attractive to international buyers, further lifting prices at the time of writing. Analysts say the metal’s rebound comes after an earlier correction this month, with traders responding quickly to geopolitical risks and currency fluctuations.
Long-Term Factors Continue to Support Bullion
Beyond short-term policy headlines, structural drivers such as geopolitical tensions, cautious sentiment toward sovereign bonds, and concerns about global economic stability continue to underpin gold’s appeal. Market strategists suggest that while volatility may increase in the near term, the broader trend still favours higher prices. Recent commentary from industry experts indicates that ongoing developments around trade relations and geopolitical events — including tensions in the Middle East — could keep investors positioned defensively. Overall, gold’s latest rally highlights how quickly sentiment can shift when policy uncertainty rises. With traders closely watching future tariff decisions and currency movements, the precious metal may remain a key barometer of global risk appetite in the months ahead.
