Gold Scores Another Record High

Oil futures reversed earlier gains today, after the U.S. imposed an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports. Adding to the pressure, Beijing retaliated with its own levies. March-dated West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude lost 46 cents, or 0.6%, to settle at $72.70 per barrel.

Another day, another all-time high for gold prices. Bullion hit an intraday high of $2,845.14, as investors sought the safe-haven asset in response to all the tariff news. The contract for February delivery was last seen trading 0.6% higher at $2,8873.70 an ounce.
