Goudprijs bereikt recordhoogte
June 24, 2020 - Spot gold prices topped a record $3,200 an ounce as investors ditch U.S. assets and seek a safe haven amid the global economic uncertainty caused by U.S. President Trump’s erratic tariffs.
Investors have been dropping Wall Street stocks, as Trump flip-flops, implementing higher tariff rates on dozens of trading partners without any warning and then abruptly pausing or reversing course.
The U.S. dollar has now lost its “safe haven” status, and has sunk to its lowest in 10 years against the Swiss franc and a six-month low against the yen, while the euro surged to levels last seen in 2022.
