Gold, known as a safe haven, continues its upward trend despite geopolitical risks.
The ounce of gold, which started the year at $2,065, has gained about 34% since the beginning of the year, which is the best performance of the last 45 years.
This performance of the precious metal is driven by the rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East, and gradual stepping back from the tight monetary policy.
