Gold Soars To All-Time High As Dollar Dive Boosts Safety Rush
Gold Soars To All-Time High As Dollar Dive Boosts Safety Rush
By Brijesh Patel
(Reuters) - Gold surged to record highs on Monday as an intensifying U.S.-China row and a weaker dollar sent investors scurrying to the safety of bullion to hedge against the risks to a global economy already reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Spot gold rose 1.7% to $1,934.06 per ounce by 0802 GMT after hitting a record high of $1,943.93. U.S. gold futures gained 1.7% to $1,929.40.
Silver too joined the rally, jumping 5.5% to $24, after hitting its highest since September 2013 at $24.36.
Gold is in "perfect condition to move higher," said ANZ commodity strategist Soni Kumari, as central banks push for liquidity amid the pandemic.
"Further support is also coming from falling yields, weaker dollar and geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China. The safe-haven demand (for gold) has been rising while there is none for USD anymore."
The dollar fell to a near two-year low on increased bets the U.S. Federal Reserve could flag another accommodative policy shift when it meets this week, implying lower interest rates for longer.

Peter Schiff: 8-17-2026
Peter Schiff on plunging retail sales, sticky inflation, the Fed's stealth QE, and why the world is now leaving the dollar standard.
Retail sales just plunged, producer prices are still rising, and the Fed is quietly expanding its balance sheet again.
The July data tells the story the markets keep ignoring. Retail sales fell 0.6 percent, the biggest drop in over a year, and since those numbers are not adjusted for inflation, real spending fell even further.
