Globally, spot ‍gold broke ⁠above the psychological milestone ‌of $4,600 an ⁠ounce on ⁠Monday for ​the first time, as ‍safe-haven ​demand and expectations of rate cuts kept bullion a favoured ⁠asset.

It was trading at $4,568.13 per ounce, up 1.31 per cent at 9am UAE time, driven by geopolitical and economic uncertainties and growing bets around interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve.

Some of the key factors driving precious metals are growing risks of US strikes on Iran due to protests in the Persian country, as US President Donald Trump has threatened to hit Iran a few times.

In addition, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said he is under federal criminal investigation related to the $2.5 billion renovation of the central bank’s headquarters. This also sent jitters among investors on Monday morning.

The Fed chief called it a "pretext" of the government aimed at putting further pressure on the central bank to lower rates.
