Gold Price Hits New Record, Touching US$3,500 for First Time

The gold price reached yet another record high on Tuesday (April 22), hitting US$3,500 per ounce.

In trading on Monday (April 21), the precious metal surged past the US$3,400 mark; it then briefly touched US$3,500 early on Tuesday morning before settling in the US$3,425 to US$3,450 range.

Gold has been on the rise all year, with the latest boost coming after US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell spoke at the Economic Club of Chicago on April 16. In his remarks, he said he expects US President Donald Trump's tariff policy to negatively impact American economic growth and further fuel inflation in the country.

Gold's momentum was boosted in the following days as Trump made his own statements suggesting he is seeking ways to remove Powell as the head of the US central bank. However, the Fed operates at arm's length, and it would require an act of Congress to remove Powell from his post. Powell's term is set to expire in May 2026.
