Gold Prices Surge: Gold prices reached a record high due to strong safe-haven demand amid escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China, despite President Trump's temporary pause on tariffs for most countries.
Market Reactions: The uncertainty surrounding trade policies has led to increased demand for gold as a hedge against instability, while other precious metals like silver and platinum also saw gains; however, concerns remain over China's elevated tariffs on U.S. imports.
