The price of gold reached an all-time high on Friday, capping its best month since March 2024. Investors are actively switching to this protective asset amid concerns about tariffs in the United States. Traders' attention is focused on the key report on inflation in the United States, expected later. The spot price of gold was $2,793 per ounce, an increase of more than 6% in a month. Earlier, quotes reached the level of $2,800. Futures are trading at $2,843, retreating from the record of $2,859 recorded in the Asian session. Trading activity remained low due to the closure of Chinese markets in connection with the celebration of the Lunar New Year. US President Trump has confirmed plans to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada. Analysts note that such threats have increased the demand for gold as a safe asset. Inflation data may show the flexibility of the Fed's policy, which will accelerate expectations of a rate cut and support gold. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said that the softness of further policy will depend on inflation and the labor market.
