Gold surged on Wednesday as investor confidence grew in response to speculations surrounding new policy directions under former President Donald Trump. The metal climbed to $1,970 per ounce, reflecting growing optimism among bulls aiming for all-time highs last seen in August 2020.
Market sentiment shifted as discussions about Trump’s economic policies reignited expectations of higher inflation and a weaker U.S. dollar, factors that traditionally support gold prices. Analysts noted that concerns over geopolitical risks and a slowdown in global economic recovery further strengthened gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset.
While investors remain cautious about resistance levels near $2,000, experts believe that sustained policy-driven market volatility could drive gold prices closer to historical peaks.
