Gold climbs in the early Asian session amid safe-haven demand spurred by new credit-fraud fears. Regional banks in the U.S. came under renewed scrutiny Thursday after Zions Bancorp said it would take a large loss and revealed accusations of fraud against a set of borrowers who had ties to a number of other lenders in the industry.
Safe-haven demand also comes amid intensifying trade frictions and expectations of further Fed monetary easing, says Bas Kooijman, CEO and asset manager at DHF Capital, in an email. Spot gold rises 0.9% to $4,366.29/oz after earlier touching a fresh record intraday high of $4,380.79/oz, ICE data show.
