In the international market, gold prices surged to a record high above $4,800 per ounce on Wednesday.

“It’s the loss of trust in the U.S. caused by Trump’s moves over the weekend to tariff European countries and increase his coercion in trying to take Greenland. (The move in gold) reflects fears about global geopolitical (tensions),” said Kyle Rodda, a senior market analyst at Capital.com, according to Reuters.
On Tuesday, Trump said there was “no going back” on his goal to control Greenland, refusing to rule out taking the Arctic island by force and lashing out at NATO allies.
He later said, “We will work something out where NATO is going to be very happy and where we’re going to be very happy.”
Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron said Europe would not give in to bullies or be intimidated, in a scathing criticism of Trump’s threat of steep tariffs at Davos if Europe does not let him take over Greenland.
“Obviously investors are selling the dollar, they’re selling treasuries, particularly at the long-end, and buying gold instead because there is greater confidence in gold than in the U.S. (currency) right now,” Rodda said.
The dollar languished near three-week lows against the euro and Swiss franc, and Asian stocks extended their losses for a third session, while a global bond rout appeared to slow for now.
