Rising fears that another US shutdown looms pushes gold price to new height amid nearly 90% rise since Trump’s inauguration
Gold has jumped above $5,000 an ounce for the first time, as Donald Trump’s chaotic policies and proclamations drive more investors to seek safe harbour in the precious metal.
