DetailsOn Tuesday, the value of bullion briefly reached $3,839.52 per ounce. The rise was supported by the lack of agreement between President Donald Trump and congressional leaders on temporary funding. This increases the likelihood of a “shutdown” and delays in the publication of key economic reports.
Meanwhile, the world’s largest gold producers – Newmont Corp. and Barrick Mining Corp. – announced personnel changes. The departure of Newmont CEO Tom Palmer was expected, while Mark Bristow’s decision to leave his position at Barrick came as a surprise.
The value of gold has already risen by more than 45% this year, setting new records amid high demand from central banks and expectations of a Fed rate cut. US Treasury bond yields also rose, which lowered their profitability and made gold more attractive to investors.
