Gold edges up after levy chaos drives biggest gain in 18 months
Gold edged higher after posting its biggest one-day gain in 18 months, as confusion over US President Donald Trump’s tariff agenda drove investors to buy the precious metal as a haven. During a whipsaw day for markets on Wednesday, gold climbed as much as 3.9% before closing up 3.3%, less than $100 short of its all-time high posted last week.
