Pepperstone analyst Ahmad Assiri said that gold appears to be experiencing its most robust bull market in recent years. Over the past month, gold has risen by about 15.00%, with pullbacks of less than 2.00%, showing very strong demand from both institutional and retail investors. He pointed out that as market concerns about high valuations in the U.S. stock market increase, and as discussions about a potential tech bubble increase, gold is also becoming a core component of diversified investment portfolios. Assiri said: "While these concerns may be exaggerated, this perception alone supports gold as a haven for investor anxiety." (Golden Ten)
