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.

Investing news: 9-21-2026
Bill Holter of BillHolter.com believes gold's next leg higher has already begun, and its ultimate catalyst is the financial markets themselves. "I think price wise, we're early, Time wise, I don't think there's a lot of time left before we see the implosion of fiats.

Kitco News: 9-18-2026
Mark Thornton called the housing bubble in 2004. For four years, he was told he was wrong. He now says every paper-dollar asset you own is facing a very difficult future, and the AI buildout is the clearest warning sign he has seen since.
In this interview with Jeremy Szafron, the Mises Institute senior fellow and author of The Skyscraper Curse explains why AI data centers are this cycle's record-breaking tower, why the bonds financing them run decades longer than the hardware, who gets stuck with the cost when a tenant stops paying, and why central banks no longer trusting each other is the best sign he has seen for gold.
