Gold Finds Strength in UncertaintyGold prices surged for the fourth consecutive session after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new wave of tariffs — including a 35% import tax on Canadian goods and threats of 15–20% tariffs on other major trade partners. Previously, the U.S. had already imposed a 50% tariff on copper and Brazilian imports. These aggressive trade measures have reignited fears of a global economic slowdown, prompting investors to seek refuge in gold.
As a result, gold is increasingly viewed as a buying opportunity, with many prioritizing safety over chasing equity market highs.
Adding to the bullish case, expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut — reinforced by comments from Fed officials Waller and Daly — have further boosted the metal’s appeal.
In summary, the mix of rising trade tensions and a dovish monetary outlook is providing strong short-term support for gold’s upward momentum.
