Why Is Gold at These Levels?
Gold has been on a strong run in 2026, driven mainly by geopolitical uncertainty and concerns over the global fiscal position, which push investors toward gold as a safe haven. Strong central-bank buying and interest-rate expectations add to the moves. Because gold trades globally around the clock and the ringgit floats, the price here changes continuously.
How We Calculate It
