Gold prices jumped more than 1% on Monday to hit a record high, as safe-haven demand surged on fears of a global trade war after U.S. President Donald Trump announced new tariff plans.
Spot gold was up 1.5% to $2,903.19 per ounce, as of 1153 GMT, after hitting a record high of $2,905.98 earlier in the session - its seventh record this year.
