“Gold prices continued their move higher over the course of March, breaking several record highs along the way. Prices ended the month with an intraday record high of $3,132.50, basis the nearby active Comex contract, and settled at $3,122.80, also a fresh record.
Prices continued to rise on the first day of April, but then saw a brief pullback starting 2 April, which took prices down to an intraday low of $2,970.40 by 7 April. There were a variety of factors that caused the pullback in gold prices during early April, which included gold prices being extremely overbought, an announcement of U.S. reciprocal tariffs on 2 April (a “buy the rumor, sell the news” event), completion of the April Comex gold contract roll into the next active June contract, and liquidation across assets in a rush to cash as markets digested the negative economic consequences of the “reciprocal” tariff announcement.”
