However, in the international market, Safe-haven gold prices rose on Thursday as investors worried about potential import tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump, while investors awaited a key inflation report to gauge the Federal Reserve’s policy path.
Spot gold was up 0.7% at $2,776.79 per ounce, as of 1020 GMT. U.S. gold futures climbed 0.8% to $2,791.70.
“Despite the fact that tariffs on gold in the States are extremely unlikely given that it is a reserve asset, risk managers are taking no chances and moving metal into the States,” said StoneX analyst Rhona O’Connell.
“The element that is most affected by this is the exchange of futures for physical (EFP), but it is undoubtedly contributing to support in spot.”
London bullion market players are racing to borrow gold from central banks, which store bullion in London, following a surge in gold deliveries to the U.S., two sources familiar with the matter said.
Even though Trump did not mention gold in his tariff plans, traders were worried about possible risks, leading to more gold being sent to New York.
