US government shutdown pushes gold prices to ‘record highs’
CommSec’s Tom Piotrowski discusses how the US government shutdown has pushed gold prices to “new record highs”.
“The fact that the US government shutdown is going into its seventh day, there’s no sight of common ground being formed between the Democrats and the Republicans,” Mr Piotrowski said.
“No hope at this stage that spending legislation will get passed, that was a factor pushing gold prices to … new record highs.”
