Bitcoin struggles as gold emerges as refuge amid economic unease triggered by President Trump's policies.

Gold prices have climbed to a historic high of $3,000 per ounce, underlining its appeal as a safe-haven asset amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty.

Gold’s rally follows concerns over global stability and turbulence, which have been amplified by trade policies under President Donald Trump.

So, breaking past the $3,000 psychological threshold reinforces the precious metal’s long-standing reputation as a hedge against economic instability.

GoldSeek President Peter Spina views this price milestone as a warning sign for fiat currencies. He argues that declining confidence in the US dollar and its counterparts erode their purchasing power, making gold a preferred store of value.
