Spot gold hit another record high, reaching a peak of $2,943 an ounce

Spot gold prices hit another all-time high a week later, hitting an intraday high of $2,943 an ounce. The ANZ research note noted that gold prices rose as the market focus returned to an uncertain economic backdrop. The risk of a full-blown trade war is high, which has stimulated investor demand for safe-haven assets such as gold. (Gold 10)
