Top Stories This Week: Gold Price Breaks US$2,000 Twice, Fed Hikes Again

The gold price broke the US$2,000 per ounce mark twice this week as investors looking for a safe haven gravitated toward the yellow metal. Gold has only passed this key level a couple of times in the past — first in July 2020 amid global COVID-19 pressures, and next in February 2022 on the back of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

This week's rise came as market turmoil continued after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS) was also in the headlines after news hit that it will be bought by rival UBS (NYSE:UBS) in a deal worth US$3.25 billion.

Meanwhile, back in the US, First Republic Bank (NYSE:FRC) appears to have narrowly avoided a similar fate after a group of Wall Street banks banded together to contribute US$30 billion in deposits. First Republic is down close to 90 percent year-to-date.

Gold Price Breaks Through US$2,000 for Second Time in a Week

For the second time in a week, the price of gold reached and briefly surpassed a price per ounce of US$2,000.

The precious metal cleared through that mark on Thursday (March 23) around 2:00 p.m. EDT, just three days after it reached US$2,000 for the first time in 2023. The initial instance came on Monday (March 20), when gold rose as high as US$2,003.58. The yellow metal stayed there only briefly, and dipped back down to about the US$1,935 level mid-week.

Gold has been on the rise due to recent market volatility, led by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in the US. Since the institution's failure on March 10, gold has jumped in value by approximately 10 percent.
