Gold (XAU/USD) prices had earlier hit an all-time high of $3,004, before falling back below $3,000, still posting a weekly gain of over 2.5% for now at the time of writing on Friday (3/14). The inflow and additional demand for Bullion came after US President Donald Trump retaliated against European tariffs, saying he would impose a 200% tariff on wine and champagne from the region.
This has spooked market participants into believing that all bets are off and that US President Trump will not back down or ease his stance on tariffs, raising more concerns about growth and demand for riskier assets. Meanwhile, US yields hit a five-day high on Thursday before falling.
