“With Donald Trump inaugurated as the 47th US president, market focus has turned to his potential tariff strategies, including the much-debated universal tariff of 10–20 per cent. If enacted, such policies could disrupt current global trade flows and amplify economic volatility, reinforcing gold's role as a safe asset. Anticipation of a rapid-fire rollout of executive orders further adds to market jitters, as investors brace for immediate policy shifts with economic implications,” he said.
Assiri added that recent US inflationary pressure highlights gold's strategic appeal.

Historically, gold has served as a reliable hedge against inflation and political uncertainty.
“The risk for gold seems to be skewed to the upside. Political tensions and trade uncertainties create fertile ground for volatility. Investors will closely monitor Trump's early executive actions, which are expected to set the tone for broader market dynamics and gold's trajectory in the weeks ahead,” he said.
