Gold Breaks $5,000 Barrier for the First Time in History

Gold surpassed the $5,000 per ounce mark for the first time in history yesterday, Sunday, as it continues to be seen as a safe haven amid geopolitical, trade, and monetary uncertainties caused by the policies of former US President Donald Trump. The price of the precious yellow metal, which is being boosted by the weakening dollar, has been steadily rising for years. The price of a gold ounce was just over $2,000 in January 2024.
