Gold glitters as investors seek safe haven amid geopolitical tensions
Gold prices surged to an all-time high of $2,730 (£2,093) this morning as investors sought safe-haven assets amid rising geopolitical tensions.
This means that the price of the yellow metal has surged 38 per cent this year.
The rally has come as conflict intensified between Lebanon and Israel, with fears growing over a broader regional escalation.
The uncertainty of the US election outcome, with particular concerns over Donald Trump’s improved odds in betting markets, has also pushed investors towards safe haven assets.
