    April 16, 2025

    Gold prices have passed $3,300 for the first time in history as investors flee US government bonds, which were previously viewed as a safe haven. “It seems that fewer countries are trusting the US — and therefore US Treasuries as a ‘safe haven’ asset class,” explained analysts from Invesco. “This has resulted in greater buying [...]
