Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Gold prices have surpassed the $3,000 mark for the first time, driven by investor demand amid escalating trade wars and geopolitical tensions, leading to a 14% increase since early 2025. The surge indicates a flight to safety as uncertainty around tariffs and inflation fears rises. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers suggests this reflects a lack of confidence in economic management. Central banks are also increasing gold reserves, adding to market dynamics. Analysts predict the uptrend may continue if economic anxiety grows further.
