The price of gold hit an all-time peak of US$880 an ounce on Tuesday on robust fund buying backed by rebounding oil prices, a weak dollar and geopolitical tensions, traders said.
Gold is seen as a defence against inflation, which in many countries is driven by runaway crude prices. The precious metal is also seen as a safe haven amid global unrest, which on Tuesday was being fuelled by tensions between Iran and the United States.
Meanwhile a weak dollar makes gold cheaper for buyers using stronger currencies.
After breaching the previous high of US$875 set on 21 january 1980 for COMEX spot-month futures, gold marched on to breach the US$880 mark.
