Gold prices climb as tariff jitters lift safe-haven demand


GOLD prices climbed on Monday as an escalation in the Russian war in Ukraine and U.S. President Donald Trump's fresh threat to double tariffs on imported steel and aluminum prompted investors to seek refuge in safe-haven bullion.

Spot gold was up 0.5% at $3,305.85 an ounce, as of 0204 GMT. U.S. gold futures rose 0.4% to $3,329.80.
