Tariffs Fuel Safe-Haven Demand: Trump’s 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and 10% on Chinese goods sparked growth and inflation concerns, boosting gold as a safe-haven asset.

Analysts’ Outlook:
UBS: Despite the strong U.S. dollar, gold remains attractive due to trade war risks and could rise to $2,850 in the coming months.
