Uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and potentially China is driving safe-haven demand for gold. The U.S. economy showed weaker-than-expected growth, reinforcing the market's expectation for a Fed rate cut in March. The Fed held rates steady, focusing on inflation and employment data. The market awaits the core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) index, a key inflation indicator, which will influence future policy.

Some expect gold to reach $3,000 if inflation expectations rise or if the Fed signals policy changes. European markets note a significant gold influx into the U.S. due to potential tariffs, impacting liquidity in London.
