Gold prices continued to strengthen in response to higher US consumer inflation figures and gained positive traction for the second straight day on Thursday. The momentum lifted the precious metal to $2,920 during the Asian session and was supported by a combination of factors.
Investors remain concerned that US President Donald Trump's new levies on commodity imports and reciprocal tariffs will trigger a global trade war, which continued to support Gold prices as a safe-haven asset. Moreover, the emergence of fresh US Dollar (USD) selling provided additional support to the bullion and contributed to the rally.
Until this news was released, the price of gold was at $2,913
