Gold has soared to successive records this year as the trade conflict has unsettled global markets, hurting appetite for risk assets while accelerating a rush to havens. Holdings in bullion-backed exchange-traded funds have expanded for the past 12 weeks straight, the longest run since 2022. Central banks have also been adding to their holdings, underpinning robust worldwide demand.
Bullion traded as much as 1.1% higher at $3,364.41 an ounce, before trading at $3,363.34 at 8:40 a.m. in Singapore, as the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell 0.5%. Silver rose, platinum was little-changed, and palladium declined.
