**Gold** climbed to a fresh **record high** on Monday as investors sought safety amid renewed trade tensions between the **United States and China**.

**Spot gold** rose **3% to $4,103.90 an ounce**, extending a sharp rally driven by mounting geopolitical uncertainty and risk aversion.

The renewed dispute between Washington and Beijing was sparked last Thursday when **China imposed new restrictions on rare earth exports**, prompting **President Donald Trump** to threaten **100% tariffs** in response. The escalation rattled global markets and pushed investors toward traditional safe-haven assets such as gold.

“While trade tensions have eased again between the U.S. and China, the 100% additional tariff threat remains,” said **Giovanni Staunovo**, analyst at **UBS**, adding that trade disputes continue to be a major focus for investors.

Gold’s appeal has also been underpinned by its role as a **hedge against inflation** and its reputation as the **ultimate store of value** during periods of global uncertainty.
