Hi Traders! Gold futures are up 0.6% at $2,793.50 a troy ounce after hitting a fresh record of $2,801.70 an ounce earlier in the session. The new high reflects safe-haven demand, boosted by uncertainty around the U.S. election, says Vivek Dhar, analyst at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The growing likelihood of a Trump presidency has likely played a role too. Former President Trump's plans raise the risk of policy disruption, geopolitical tensions and a higher U.S. debt profile, Dhar says in a research report. These have further boosted gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset. CBA expects gold to average $2,800 an ounce throughout the fourth quarter of 2024. It expects gold to rise to average $3,000 an ounce by the fourth quarter of 2025.
