Gold prices keep record high in sight amid growing economic jitters.
Gold prices rose slightly on Wednesday, moving further towards a 2020 record high as more signs of slowing economic growth fed into safe haven demand for the yellow metal.
Markets largely brushed off comments from Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Loretta Mester that U.S. interest rates will keep rising despite weakness in the economy. Mester also suggested that rates will remain above the 5% mark for longer.
