Gold Climbs to Record High as Silver Hits New Peak
Gold touched a record high in spot trading, approaching the $4,500 per ounce level, as demand for the yellow metal surged as a safe haven amid rising tensions between the United States and Venezuela.

The rally was driven by increased investment demand for gold amid concerns over geopolitical risks and global market volatility, reinforcing its role as a key hedge asset during periods of uncertainty.

Meanwhile, silver reached an all-time high, supported by stronger industrial and investment demand and expectations of a continued accommodative global monetary environment.

The strong performance of precious metals reflects growing investor preference for safe-haven assets to protect portfolios from potential risks at a time of heightened global market volatility.
