DJ Gold Climbs Above $4,500/oz for First Time Amid Rising Geopolitical Tensions -- Market Talk

2354 GMT - Gold climbs above the $4,500/oz level for the first time amid rising geopolitical tensions. The U.S. has deployed large numbers of special-operations aircraft, troops, and equipment to the Caribbean area this week, providing Washington with additional options for possible military action in Venezuela, the WSJ reported, citing U.S. officials and open-source flight-tracking data. Tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela have escalated further, Exness' Li Xing says in an email. Also, frictions between China and Japan remain elevated and risks in Eastern Europe continue to increase, the financial markets strategist adds. Spot gold is 0.5% higher at $4,506.86/oz after earlier touching a record high of $4,508.73/oz, ICE data show. ([e-mail])
