Gold prices soared past the $3,020 mark on Tuesday, reaching a new all-time high as escalating conflict in the Middle East fueled demand for safe-haven assets. Renewed Israeli military strikes in Gaza, following Hamas’ refusal to release hostages under a ceasefire deal, have triggered a surge in risk aversion, pushing investors toward gold as a hedge against uncertainty.
The geopolitical turmoil comes at a time when global markets are already grappling with the implications of U.S. trade policy shifts. Trump’s tariffs, which have sparked retaliatory actions from major trade partners—including China, Canada, Mexico, and the EU—continue to cast a shadow over economic stability. With increasing concerns about trade disruptions and inflationary pressures, gold’s role as a store of value remains dominant.
From a technical perspective, gold’s breakout beyond the psychological $3,000 threshold reinforces bullish momentum. If risk-off sentiment persists, the next target could be $3,050-$3,100, with further upside potential should central banks signal looser monetary policies. However, a cooling of geopolitical tensions or stronger U.S. economic data could trigger a pullback toward support at $2,980.
The broader market landscape suggests that gold is set to outperform other asset classes in the near term. While equities remain volatile and cryptocurrencies face uncertainty, gold’s traditional role as a safe-haven asset continues to attract institutional flows. Investors will closely watch developments in the Israel-Gaza conflict, as well as any shifts in global trade policy, for further clues on gold’s trajectory.
