Gold’s latest rally follows a Financial Times report on Thursday indicating Customs and Border Protection would hit one-kilo and 100-ounce gold bars with President Donald Trump’s tariffs, citing a ruling letter by the agency dated July 31.

The global gold market relies on a network of banks, refineries and couriers that can fly bullion between key trading hubs at a moment’s notice in pursuit of the highest prices. On Friday, a shock US ruling suggesting that the metal would be subject to tariffs plunged that system into chaos.
