Gold rose above the $3,000 level on Tuesday (03/18), hitting a new record high as demand for safe-haven assets strengthened ahead of the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.

With the Fed expected to leave interest rates unchanged, investors will focus on the central bank's latest economic projections and Chairman Jerome Powell's press conference for signals on future policy direction, especially amid trade and tariff concerns. Geopolitical tensions are also contributing to market uncertainty.
