It has soared for five consecutive weeks, making it one of the year\u2019s best-performing assets.

He also announced 25% tariffs on all imported steel and aluminum, and a similar amount for all goods imported from Canada and Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gold price is, therefore, rising as investors rush to its safety since it has played a safe haven role in the last decades. Besides, data shows that more countries like Russia, Turkey, and China have continued to boost their gold purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gold has also jumped as investors anticipate weaker relations between the US and other countries. For example, there are signs that talks between the US and Russia are not going on well, with reports saying that Trump was \u2018very angry\u2019 with Putin as the ceasefire negotiations continue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, gold price is soaring amid a confluence of bullish catalysts like safe-haven demand, central bank purchases, and rising tensions between the US and other countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_246742\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-246742\" style=\"width: 3574px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-246742\" src=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Gold-Price.png\" alt=\"Gold Price Chart\" width=\"3574\" height=\"1986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Gold-Price.png 3574w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Gold-Price-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Gold-Price-1224x680.png 1224w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Gold-Price-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Gold-Price-1536x854.png 1536w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Gold-Price-2048x1138.png 2048w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Gold-Price-150x83.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3574px) 100vw, 3574px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-246742\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gold Price Chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>XAU\/USD Technical Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technicals and trend-following principles show that the gold price will likely keep rising for a while.
