Gold continues to edge higher, with strong momentum pointing toward the $4,500 mark as investors seek safety amid rising political tensions, geopolitical uncertainty, and growing concerns over global economic stability.  Gold Outlook The metal remains uptrend, holding above key support levels near $4,050 as buying interest continues to build on every minor dip. A decisive break above $4,100 could strengthen bullish momentum, opening the path toward $4,250 and eventually $4,500. Sentiment stays firmly positive as traders view gold not only as a hedge against political risk but also as a refuge amid weakening confidence in global growth.
