Gold news for August 25, 2026
Gold has climbed to its highest since May 15, supported by safe-haven demand on fears of an Iran war and concerns over the Trump economy, along with dollar debasement and mounting debt worries. The metal paused after a powerful four-day rally, with some reports noting a pullback in Asia-Pacific trading. A Treasury cash-pile buyback signal also contributed to the recent rise, while silver slipped.
