The price of spot gold in the US declined on Friday to $3,108 per ounce, just a day after it rose to a record high of $3,149 per ounce. This fluctuation comes as nervous investors rush towards safe-haven options following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs.

Earlier this month, gold prices had advanced to reach a new record high of Rs 91,950 in Delhi, driven by continued buying by jewellers ahead of the wedding season.
The rise in gold prices is also attributed to increased tensions in the Middle East and concerns about the US economic slowdown, which have kept the demand for safe-haven assets intact.
