Why Gold Is Rallying?

Gold is shining more than ever, and it’s not just its appearance! Investors are flocking to the yellow metal as a safe-haven amid the chaos of uncertainty. The US Federal Reserve is under intense scrutiny after its Chair, Jerome Powell, announced that the Department of Justice had issued subpoenas related to the enormous USD 2.5 billion office renovation project, indeed, even gold gets jittery at times. Add mounting geopolitical tensions, and suddenly, gold becomes the most comfortable place to run to.

For buyers, it’s a bright warning: prepare your wallets, because chasing this sparkle is becoming more costly by the day!
