Gold tested new highs as traders reacted to geopolitical developments. Demand for safe-haven gold increased after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi died in mysterious helicopter crash.

Gold made an attempt to settle above the $2450 level but lost momentum as some traders decided to take profits near historic highs. A move above $2450 will push gold towards the $2500 level.
