Gold prices have reached record highs recently, with investors piling money into the safe haven asset amid rising global political uncertainty.
Gold surged past the $5,000 per ounce mark for the first time on Monday and briefly hit $5,500, falling back slightly in recent days.
Silver has also rallied and is currently trading at around $98 per ounce, up from $35 per ounce a year ago.
While the price of gold has fallen from recent highs, investors are still finding refuge in the precious metal.
Global trade has been upset by tariffs introduced by US President Donald Trump on countries who wish to trade with the US but whom he sees as unfavourable.
