As economic uncertainty deepens, the rush for gold continues — with prices for the precious metal topping $4,300 for the first time this week. The going price for New York spot closed at a record $4,326 per troy ounce on Thursday. Futures also traded as high at more than $4,344 per troy ounce Thursday, before falling below the $4,300 mark Friday morning. Still, gold is up 6.7% over the last week, marking one of its best weeks to date. Gold sales can rise sharply when anxious investors seek a "safe haven" for their money. For the U.S., the latest gains arrive amid the now weekslong government shutdown and ongoing trade wars abroad.
