Globally, gold prices held firm near a record high on Thursday, as US President Donald Trump’s tariff plans stoked fears of higher inflation and a major global trade war.
Since his inauguration, Trump has imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese imports and a 25% tariff on steel and aluminium.
He said on Wednesday he would announce tariffs related to lumber, cars, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals “over the next month or sooner.”
