Gold tops $4,300

Gold prices climbed above $4,300 per troy ounce, hitting a record high as investors continued to seek safe-haven assets.

The precious metal rose above the $4,300 mark on global commodity markets, supported by geopolitical uncertainty and expectations surrounding monetary policy decisions by major central banks. Analysts said demand for gold remained strong because of its traditional role as a hedge during periods of economic and political instability.
