Gold prices will keep hitting new record highs as the classic flight-to-safety asset shines bright for investors rattled by an increasingly uncertain global status quo.

That’s the take from analysts watching the yellow metal soar.

Bullion futures (GC=F) inched towards US$2,900 per ounce on Wednesday. Gold passed the US$2,800 mark for the first time last week as U.S. President Donald Trump set the stage for imminent trade wars with Canada and Mexico.

On Monday, the White House agreed to hold off on this for 30 days. However, the Trump administration advanced a 10 per cent levy on Chinese imports, prompting Beijing to announce retaliatory measures.

While it generates no yield, investors have long turned to gold as a safe-haven investment in times of economic upheaval and war. Gold prices have also benefited from central banks purchasing at the highest level since the late 1990s, and mounting fears about U.S. debt.

“Trump's statement about being in no hurry to engage with Chinese President Xi Jinping, coupled with his suggestion regarding U.S. control of the Gaza Strip reconstruction, further intensified the demand for safe-haven assets like gold,” Samer Hasn, senior market analyst at XS.com, wrote in a research brief on Wednesday.

At the same time, he says weaker U.S. economic data, including Wednesday’s Purchasing Managers Index reading, boost the case for another Federal Reserve rate cut.

“Softer figures could provide additional momentum for gold prices,” Hasn added. “Under current conditions, the market could test the US$3,000 threshold.”

Ryan McIntyre, managing partner at Sprott Asset Management, says gold is a unique offering for investors – a highly liquid store of value with far less volatility than bitcoin, low correlation to other asset classes, and physical limitations on the pace of new supply from mines.

Then, there’s the Trump factor.

“He's doing a lot of things that people haven't done or haven't considered before,” McIntyre told Yahoo Finance Canada in an interview. “Uncertainty is always good for gold. And so I think you've got the perfect environment for gold right now.”

He also sees political fractures widening in Canada and Europe.

“People are more politically divided, in a more harsh way, than they’ve been for a long time,” McIntyre said. “Whether it’s the United States, Germany, even in Canada now, there’s been a pretty big swing. I think people are becoming more harsh in their views.”

He believes that gold will continue its strong performance and hit new highs in the coming years. However, McIntyre declines to specify a price target, citing company compliance reasons.

Justin Baldoni's lawyer 'surprised by Ryan Reynolds' joke'
Justin Baldoni's lawyer was "surprised" to see Ryan Reynolds joke about his client's ongoing lawsuit. The 48-year-old actor seemingly referenced Justin's legal dispute with Blake Lively, Ryan's wife, during the 'SNL50: The Anniversary Special' over the weekend, and Bryan Freedman, Justin's attorney, has now questioned Ryan's decision to joke about the lawsuit. Appearing on 'Hot Mics with Billy Bush', Bryan said: "I'm unaware of anybody, frankly, whose wife has been sexually harassed and has made jokes about that type of situation. I can't think of anyone who's done anything like that. It surprised me." During the show, Ryan - who was sat among the audience - was asked: "How's it going?" And in response, the Hollywood star replied: "Great, why? What have you heard?" The joke was widely considered to be a reference to Blake's ongoing legal dispute with Justin. The 37-year-old actress has accused Justin, 41, of causing her "severe emotional distress". The movie star - who played Justin's on-screen love interest in 'It Ends with Us' - previously told the New York Times newspaper: "I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted." Justin - who also directed the 2024 romantic drama film - later denied the allegations, with his lawyer describing the claims as "categorically false". Bryan, who is acting as a lawyer for the actor and his Wayfarer Studios production company, told Variety: "These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media."

Dwyane Wade feels 'strong and healthy' after cancer battle
Dwyane Wade feels "strong" and "healthy" after his battle with cancer. The 43-year-old former basketball star - who is married to actress Gabrielle Union - had a cancerous tumor removed from his kidney in December 2023 and he's now explained he's "free" of the disease almost two years after his shock diagnosis. During an appearance on 'Today with Jenna and Friends', he said: "It was cancer [but] it was only Stage 1. "Thank God that we caught it early. Now I’m back. I’m strong, I’m healthy. I feel great. I’m just a little more cautious ... "[I'm taking more time to] look around and really smell the moments in life [and] appreciate it all just a little bit more. I feel like one of the lucky ones. I’m cancer free." During the interview, Dwayne explained he initially saw a doctor as a precaution because both his father and grandfather had been diagnosed with prostate cancer - and he was blindsided by the results of the tests. He said: "I just started to be like, okay, well this is probably a part of my genetics and my history, let me go get checked out. When I turned 40, I went into the doctor and I was like: ‘Listen, I want to know everything.’ And in the midst of that, I was like: ‘Here are a few things that I’ve been feeling' ... "I got a call from my doctor and in the midst of that call, you could just hear her uncertainty. They thought they saw something on my kidney. They were like: ‘Well, we don’t know if it’s cancerous, but there’s something on there'." He went on to have surgery to remove the mass and Dwayne struggled with the idea of feeling "weak" - and he didn't want his wife to see him post-op. The former sports star said: "No one has ever really experienced me being weak. "I’ve always been the strong one, the most confident one, the world champion that has lifted the trophies over his head. That’s the image, but this was a moment where I knew I was going to be uncertain and a little weak ... "Once I came out of surgery, it was a pain that I had never felt before ... [I was] most afraid of being that vulnerable [in front of my wife}. "It sounds crazy because those are supposed to be the ones you want to be there in those moments of weakness ... but you don’t want them to see you in that space." It comes after Gabrielle previously admitted her husband's cancer journey had been a "challenge". Appearing on 'The View', the 'Bring It On' actress was admitted it took her "a while" to come to terms with his diagnosis, and her mind immediately went to the "absolute worse-case". She added: "You hear cancer [and] you're paralyzed because you think of the absolute worst-case scenario. "I've had so many friends who are cancer survivors. I didn't go there; I went to 'he's gone.' " She also revealed her husband decided not to share the diagnosis with the family for some time. She explained: "He didn't tell everybody. He didn't even tell our whole family. He really wanted this to be very under the radar. He didn't tell anyone."
