Gold Price Hits New Record, Touching US$3,500 for First Time

Gold Price Hits New Record, Touching US$3,500 for First Time

The gold price reached yet another record high on Tuesday (April 22), hitting US$3,500 per ounce.

In trading on Monday (April 21), the precious metal surged past the US$3,400 mark; it then briefly touched US$3,500 early on Tuesday morning before settling in the US$3,425 to US$3,450 range.

Gold has been on the rise all year, with the latest boost coming after US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell spoke at the Economic Club of Chicago on April 16. In his remarks, he said he expects US President Donald Trump’s tariff policy to negatively impact American economic growth and further fuel inflation in the country.

Gold’s momentum was boosted in the following days as Trump made his own statements suggesting he is seeking ways to remove Powell as the head of the US central bank. However, the Fed operates at arm’s length, and it would require an act of Congress to remove Powell from his post. Powell’s term is set to expire in May 2026.

As gold soared, the US dollar sank to its lowest point in three years, falling as low as 97.95 points.

Gold has soared in recent weeks amid the chaos caused by Trump’s tariff announcements on April 2.

Those measures included a 10 percent tariff on all but a handful of countries, including Canada and Mexico, with more severe reciprocal tariffs to come into effect later on. However, on April 9, Trump announced he would pause the additional tariffs for 90 days, saying more than 70 countries had contacted him to make deals.

Trump may have been feeling pressure from economic advisors as a surge in treasury yields signaled a potential economic crisis brewing in the US bond market. Normally a safe haven during market volatility, the bond market saw a significant selloff as US tariffs and worries about the US economy’s stability spooked traders.

Although the pause gave most countries some breathing room, tariffs against China were left on the table. After much back and forth, US tariffs levied against China have now increased to 145 percent.

The net effect of Trump’s actions has been political and financial turmoil, sparking selloffs in major stock markets and pushing prices for safe-haven assets like gold to fresh records.

Additionally, China, Japan and South Korea agreed on March 30 to seek deeper free trade ties in response to the threat of tariffs from the US government. The deal marks a significant move by the three countries following decades of US diplomacy to maintain close relationships with Japan and South Korea.
