The price of gold has once again reached an all-time high, driven by a persistent upward trend in both global and local bullion markets.
This surge is primarily fueled by increased investment in gold, particularly in the United States and other major economies, as investors turn to safe-haven assets amid ongoing economic uncertainties. As a result, both international and domestic gold prices have hit record levels.
