Gold soars to $3,000 as Trump ramps up trade war
The gold price has topped $3,000 for the first time as US president Donald Trump's tariff threats send investors fleeing to safe havens. 'Gold breaching the psychologically significant $3,000 level is a direct response to escalating trade tensions and the growing economic uncertainty that this brings,' says Paul Williams, managing director of Solomon Global, a supplier of gold and silver bars and coins. 'Trump's latest tariff threat, a potential 200 per cent duty on EU alcohol imports, has sent further shockwaves through global markets, fuelling demand for safe-haven assets. 'This isn't just a knee-jerk reaction to individual policies; it's investors seeking protection against systemic risk.

With the Trump tariff turmoil spooking markets once again, gold is being chosen as the ultimate shield against political and economic unpredictability.'
