Ahmad Assiri, an analyst at Pepperstone, said gold appears to be experiencing its most robust bull run in recent years. Over the past month, gold has risen approximately 15%, with a pullback of less than 2%, demonstrating strong demand from both institutional and retail investors. He noted that with growing concerns about high valuations in the US stock market and increasing discussion of a potential tech bubble, gold is becoming a core component of diversified portfolios. "While these concerns may be exaggerated, this perception alone continues to support gold as a safe haven for anxious investors," Assiri said.
