Gold futures rose 0.2% to $2,839.60 an ounce, although a stronger U.S. dollar limited its upside potential as a safe haven. The precious metal is up 2.5% for the week and 6.3% so far this year. Gold started the week on a mixed note, balancing between risk aversion and a stronger U.S. dollar after President Trump imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, said Nikos Tzabouras of Tradu.com. After hitting a new record high on Friday, the precious metal still has room to rise as the trade war boosts safe-haven demand, Tzabouras said in a note. However, the prospect of higher inflation under the tariffs and the potential for a resulting U.S. interest rate hike have also supported the dollar, which could limit gold's rally and have added downward pressure, Tzabouras added.
