Gold shattered the $3,000 mark for the first time on Friday, reaching a historic high as investors continue to invest in the metal as a safe haven. The surge comes amid ongoing economic uncertainty fueled by trade wars, tariffs, and broader market instability.
Long-term gold investors are seeing strong returns. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (NYSEARCA: GLD) has outpaced the S&P 500, climbing nearly 14% year-to-date and over 37% in the past year, extending a now long-term trend.
