Gold Resumes Record Chase - Trade Dispute in Focus - Bitcoin and Gold Surge to Record Highs Amid Geopolitical Tensions

Bitcoin and gold have both surged to record highs in recent weeks, driven by geopolitical tensions and investor demand for safe havens. The price of Bitcoin has risen by a quarter since the end of 2024, while gold has appreciated by over 140 percent since early October 2022.

Gold's record rally began last Wednesday when it climbed above the $4,000 mark for the first time. Since then, it has reached a new peak of $4,078 per ounce, marking its seventh record high in the past eleven trading days. This impressive run has seen gold outperform most other asset classes, including Bitcoin. The precious metal has risen by over 55 percent so far this year and by almost 500 percent in the past three years.

The trade dispute between the USA and China has hardened again, with both sides threatening countermeasures. The United States and China are particularly affected by the gold price record due to heightened geopolitical tensions and ongoing trade disputes. The announcement of additional tariffs by President Trump and China's retaliatory measures have exacerbated uncertainty, driving investors towards safe-haven assets like gold. Meanwhile, Bitcoin reached a record high of over $126,000 last Monday but has since given up some ground.

Both Bitcoin and gold have experienced significant price increases in recent times, with gold's record rally showing no signs of slowing down. The ongoing trade dispute between the USA and China, coupled with geopolitical tensions, has driven investors towards these safe-haven assets. As the situation continues to evolve, so too will the prices of these commodities.
