Gold reaches historic record, surpasses $5,000 per ounce

The price of gold has set a historic record, crossing the threshold of 5 thousand US dollars per ounce for the first time, in a climate of increased global political and economic uncertainty.

According to Bloomberg data, the precious metal rose 1.8% on Monday, reaching $5,078 an ounce.

The strong rise in gold comes at a time of high international tension, following the unpredictable statements and policies of US President Donald Trump, which have pushed investors to orient themselves towards safe assets.

Among the main factors that influenced the price increase are threats of new tariffs against Canada and diplomatic clashes with Europe regarding the future of Greenland.

Meanwhile, global financial markets have also been shaken by fears of another US government shutdown, as Democrats have threatened to cut off funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

According to analysts, gold has surged about 90% since Trump's inauguration more than a year ago, reflecting growing concerns about the stability of the US dollar and the global economy.
