Why did gold prices rose to a record this week?

Gold Futures rose for the first time over 3,000 US dollars per ounce, since the fear of escalating trade wars and US economic growth urged investors to form traditional safe ports.

Gold rose in early trade on Friday up to a high trade in USD 3,016 and the metal has briefly placed the metal since the beginning of the week. In the meantime, the S&P 500 before Friday was on the right track to have its worst week in two years. Gold recovered during the session on Friday his profits and stocks recovered.

This week, Gold was for the same reason that the shares sank from. While the latest inflation and employment data indicate that the economy is still on solid foundations, investors are becoming increasingly nervous that President Trump's unpredictable tariff policy will increase the costs for companies and consumers and slow economic growth.

Fear that the United States will go to the time of stagflation. The unlikely mating of increased inflation and sluggish growth-has put investors in safe-haven assets such as gold and US financing. Gold is regarded in Wall Street as a reliable valuable transaction and thus as protection against inflation and falling asset prices. Increased uncertainty can contribute to increasing gold prices, as was the case in the run -up to the presidential elections in November

Also in the game are Treasury returns that have decreased significantly in the past two months, also a by -product of investor flying for security. Conversely, the yields of the Ministry of Finance are connected to the prices of the Ministry of Finance, which means that the returns as a demand for US debt-debt of the market fall closest to a risk-free asset. Gold has no yield; Investors only benefit with gold if the price increases. For this reason, the attraction of treasure reports decreases in relation to the gold if the yields drop, which can help to recharge the rise of gold.
