[Nikkei QUICK News (NQN)] Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo announced on April 17 that the retail price of gold is 16,885 yen per gram, up 363 yen from the previous day, hitting a new record high for the first time in about two weeks since the 1st. In early morning trading on the 17th (Japan time), New York gold futures prices continued to rise, setting new record highs for the main contract month every day, which led to the price increase. There is persistent uncertainty about the US tariff policy and the outlook for the global economy, and this is said to be driving strong demand for gold as a “safe asset.”
