Gold Laughs off Tariffs and the Dollar, Reaches New All-Time High
Gold has achieved a new high once again, with its futures contract prices surpassing $3,350 this Wednesday. The precious metal remains one of the best investments this year, as turmoil in international markets and tariffs have driven investors to seek refuge in hard assets.
Gold Keeps Climbing, Reaches ATH Amid Tariff Turmoil
Gold, an asset considered a safe haven in economic uncertainty periods, has done it again. The precious metal scored a fresh all-time high (ATH), with its futures contract prices reaching $3,350 this Wednesday.
The gold rise transpires during a dollar decline as the Trump administration’s tariff uncertainty after the U.S. government enacted reciprocal tariffs and paused them for 90 days to negotiate trade agreements. These inconsistent moves have made gold a to-go asset, with investors piling in and registering relevant inflows in gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The fears of an impending full-blown trade war may also be benefiting gold’s performance, as there is no indication of a resolution between China and the U.S., both of which have established crippling tax rates on imports.
UBS analysts echo this marketwide sentiment. In a note issued on Monday, they stated:
Furthermore, analysts sustain that even with a rise of 25% YTD, gold is still poised to reach new highs as long as the current macro continues. UBS recently raised its price target for gold the second time this year, now predicting that the precious metal will reach 3,500 in the next 12 months.
Western investors and central banks, which have been purchasing gold in a flight away from the US dollar, are still underinvested, making it possible for this stellar rally to continue. ETFs are still under 2% of the total ETF numbers in the U.S. allocation, well under the nearly 8% they reached during the 2011 gold rush. So, the upswings might continue as demand continues to climb from these sources.
