Gold breaks $5,400: Fed hold and Trump pressure keep investors piling into bullion

Gold surged past $5,400 an ounce late Wednesday, hitting a fresh high as investors continued snapping up the metal despite the Federal Reserve's pause on interest rates. Spot gold, for immediate delivery, rose 0.3% to $5,415.52 by 2246 GMT, after peaking at $5,418.39. IG analyst Tony Sycamore highlighted ongoing central-bank purchases and “flight-to-quality demand” driving the rally. The surge comes as markets juggle rate decisions and political moves. U.S. President Donald Trump announced he will soon name his choice to succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whose term expires in May. Meanwhile, two Fed governors voiced opposition, backing a quarter-point rate cut. “The rally … has kind of taken on a life of its own,” said Peter Grant, senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals. Independent trader Tai Wong noted the complex is brushing off the Fed’s “hiatus mode.”
