Two main reasons for the surge in gold prices:
Weak dollar – The US interest rate cuts have weakened the dollar and reduced the cost of holding gold, encouraging people to buy.
Geopolitical factors – The Russia-Ukraine war and rising global tensions have led investors to view gold as the safest investment and to buy it accordingly.
