Gold Reaches Record Highs Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Economic Indicators

by anna

Gold prices surged to unprecedented levels, reaching $2,276 late in the North American session, despite the backdrop of heightened geopolitical risks and elevated US Treasury yields. Investors sought refuge in safe-haven assets following the release of economic data from the United States (US), propelling the yellow metal to new heights. As of the latest update, XAU/USD is trading at $2,280, marking a gain of over 1%.

The recent Israeli attack on an Iranian embassy in Syria on April 1 significantly contributed to the upward momentum of gold prices, despite witnessing a surge in US yields and a robust US Dollar on Monday. Additionally, data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revealed an increase in job vacancies, underscoring a tight labor market. Concurrently, the US Census Bureau reported an improvement in Factory Orders.
