Gold Price rises to around $3,350 in Monday’s early Asian session, up 0.80% on the day.

Investors have rushed to safe-haven assets like Gold due to rising uncertainty about tariffs and their impact on the economy, resulting in a more than 25% increase in the yellow metal prices since January. “The case for adding gold allocations has become more compelling than ever in this environment of escalating tariff uncertainty, weaker growth, higher inflation, geopolitical risks & diversification away from US assets & the US$,” said UBS analysts.
