Gold prices (XAU/USD) extended their upward momentum, successfully reclaiming the $5,200 psychological threshold. This move marks a significant further advance from the previously recorded level of $5,150, fueled by intensifying geopolitical friction and global trade concerns. Concurrently, Silver (XAG/USD) remains robust near $87.50, benefiting from sustained safe-haven demand as investors react to US tariff threats. Market participants are maintaining a close watch on upcoming diplomatic discussions between the United States and Iran as a potential volatility driver. Analysts suggest that the breach of the $5,200 level reinforces the bullish outlook for precious metals amid prevailing economic uncertainty. The combination of trade policy risks and regional instability continues to bolster gold's appeal as a primary hedge.
