Gold breaks $3,300 as expanding trade war bolsters haven demand

The precious metal has climbed 26% this year and hit a series of record highs as the escalating trade war creates anxiety over a possible global recession.

Analysts suggest that the current geopolitical climate, coupled with expectations of continued monetary policy tightening by central banks, is likely to sustain the upward trajectory of gold prices in the near term.
