Gold Nears Record Highs Amid US Shutdown and Fed Rate Speculation
TL;DR
Gold reached a record high above $3,800 an ounce, driven by a weaker US dollar and concerns over a potential US government shutdown, which could impact economic data and influence Federal Reserve policy. The surge is part of a broader rally in precious metals, supported by central-bank demand and market tightness, with prices on track for a third consecutive quarterly gain.
