According to BlockBeats, gold prices have continued to rise following the U.S. Senate's approval of a multi-trillion-dollar tax bill proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. Investors are increasingly worried about the fiscal health of the United States, with gold prices hovering around $3,340 per ounce after a 2% increase over the past two trading days.
The latest version of the tax bill, which is expected to expand the deficit by $3.3 trillion over the next decade, is currently awaiting approval in the House of Representatives. If passed, it could enhance gold's appeal as a safe haven, as investors reconsider their allocation of U.S. assets due to concerns over Trump's disruptive trade and economic policies.
The persistent weakness of the U.S. dollar, now at its lowest level since 2022, continues to support gold prices. This offsets the pressure from rising U.S. Treasury yields, which increased following a report on Tuesday indicating a rise in U.S. job vacancies.
