Gold Price Today: Gold prices inched higher today as recession fears mounted in the U.S., and investors shied away from riskier bets. Gold is usually considered a safe haven asset at times of economic uncertainty, and investors tend to invest their money in it rather than going for speculative assets. There are worries that Fed’s tightening monetary policy could push the U.S. economy into a recession.
Typically, during a recession, riskier assets such as stocks and high-yield bonds are likely to lose value, while gold and U.S. Treasuries tend to appreciate.
