Gold surged close to a seven-year peak on Monday, as investors flocked to the safe-haven metal on escalating US - Iran tensions, while palladium hit a record high.
Earlier in the session, gold rallied as much as 2% to touch $1,582 its highest since April 10, 2013 with geopolitics taking center-stage, as the Iran-U.S. tensions have escalated to a boiling point.
President Donald Trump threatened sanctions against Iraq on Sunday after Baghdad called for American and foreign troops to leave, amid a growing backlash over the U.S. killing of a top Iranian military commander, heightening fears of wider conflict.
Elsewhere palladium hit an all-time peak earlier, and was last up 0.85% to $1986 and silver gained 1.2% to $18.34 an ounce, after touching a more than three month high at $18.47.
