Gold prices hit two-thousand U.S. dollars an ounce for the first time ever on Tuesday, ...over fear and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.
The precious metal hit a record of 20-hundred-23 dollars an ounce and settled one-point-seven percent up at 20-hundred-21 dollars.
Gold prices have risen more than 30 percent this year as the precious metal became a refuge during economic uncertainty brought by the outbreak.
According to Bank of America, trillions of dollars of stimulus released by governments worldwide to combat the virus as well as U.S.-China tensions could push gold prices towards three-thousand dollars an ounce in the next 18 months.
