Gold rose more than 1% on Thursday as investors flocked to safe-haven bullion after the U.S. hiked tariffs on China, the top metals consumer, escalating the already heated trade war, despite a 90-day pause on tariffs for other countries.
Spot gold climbed 1.2% at $3,120.01 an ounce, as of 0655 GMT. In the previous session, bullion recorded its best day since October 2023. U.S. gold futures rose 1.9% to $3,137.20.
