Gold’s spot price rose again yesterday and overnight and this morning it’s more of the same.

A little sideways action is to be expected but the commodity is up more than 1.1 per cent across the past day and sits at $3,555.

It looks to have briefly breached $3,560 even, setting a new record high in the process.

Typically gold is bought as a ‘safe’ investment when there are fears in other markets over volatility.
