Gold rallied as much as 3%, reaching $3,073.04 before settling at $3,066.69 an ounce, as global markets reacted to President Trump’s extensive new tariff policies and China’s immediate countermeasures.

Trump has imposed tariffs on approximately 60 trading partners, with China facing a particularly steep 104% tariff, to which China responded with 84% tariffs on US goods.
