The increase in gold prices can be attributed to various global factors such as inflation fears, economic uncertainties, and geopolitical tensions. In August 2020, gold reached an all-time high of $2074.88 per ounce in the international market, further highlighting its significance as a safe-haven asset. Despite the fluctuation in gold prices, it remains an attractive investment option for many people, especially during times of economic volatility.
