Contributing factors include escalating tensions in the Middle East and inflation concerns stemming from the shipping crisis in the Red Sea.\n\nExcluding a brief period in mid-February, gold prices have consistently stayed above the $2,000 mark per ounce, largely due to uncertainties surrounding interest rate cuts.\n\nFurthermore, with the Chancellor set to reveal the Budget on Wednesday, traders are increasingly investing in safe-haven assets like gold. This trend is accentuated by Jeremy Hunt’s efforts to create space for potential pre-election tax reductions."}
