Gold Market Sees Record-Breaking Week
The gold market has recorded its best week since 2008, with spot gold breaking $4,800/oz and trading near $5,000/oz by the end of the month. This surge is linked to the Greenland crisis, which has rattled the US dollar and pushed investors into safe-haven assets.
