Gold price Touches New Record Above $5,200 as Trump Comments Weaken Dollar

The Gold price surged to a historic record above $5,200 per ounce as global markets reacted to renewed weakness in the U.S. dollar following public comments by former U.S. President Donald Trump. This rally reflects rising investor concern about currency stability, inflation pressures, and political uncertainty in major economies. Gold has gained strong momentum in early 2026, extending a multi year bull run driven by global risk aversion and sustained central bank buying.
