Gold prices hit record highs as wars and trade tensions fuel uncertainty

Описание: The price of gold hit record highs last month amid global economic uncertainty driven by the war in Ukraine, President Trump's tariff policies and Middle East tensions.
The precious metal nearly doubled from around $2,700 per ounce in January 2025 to more than $5,300 by late January 2026, whilst silver prices more than tripled over the same period.
Dealers in New York's gold district report unprecedented volatility, with investors viewing precious metals as a safe haven during unstable times, though some warn the surge may signal broader economic instability.

Al Jazeera's Kristen Saloomey reports from New York.
