The price of the commodity has risen by around 50% this year, with reports claiming the climb is being driven by central bank buying, increased demand for gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as well as uncertainty in global trade and geopolitics.

These highs in gold prices are being driven by the great amount of anxiety in global markets. Investors are reacting to the various factors causing uncertainty in the world economy, be it the U.S. government shutdown or the political developments in France and Japan.
