Gold remains steady below record high as safe-haven demand increases due to global uncertainties and the Federal Reserve's hint at rate cuts. Spot gold is flat at $3,043.89 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures rose 0.3% to $3,051.90. The record rally is fueled by market jitters over tariff uncertainty, expectations of interest rate cuts, and tensions in the Middle East. Gold is historically considered a hedge against geopolitical and economic uncertainties.
