Gold prices have risen as investors weigh their expectations of global interest rates. The precious metal has become an attractive safe-haven asset in times of economic uncertainty.

The rise in gold prices comes as investors consider the implications of potential interest rate hikes by central banks around the world. Higher interest rates can make borrowing more expensive, which may lead to slower economic growth and increased demand for gold as a hedge against inflation.
