Gold prices reached a 3-week high yesterday after the terrorist attack in London pushed gold to $1,251.30 per ounce – the highest it’s been since February 28.

Gold prices have risen over 4% in the last seven days as global equities slumped and risk aversion returned to markets. Gold has consolidated on the gains of the last seven sessions today and prices are marginally higher just above $1,250 per ounce.

London’s worst attack in more than a decade left five people dead, including the assailant and the police officer he stabbed, and at least 40 injured.

The history of these attacks, including those in France, Germany and Belgium last year as well those in Madrid and London more than 10 years ago, show there was little impact on economic confidence or financial markets. However, these attacks, despite being tragic were relatively small in scale and not of the magnitude of the September 11 attacks in New York.

The concern is that with economies fragile and markets looking very over valued, a spate of new terror attacks or indeed what is termed a terrorist “spectacular” akin to ‘911’ or simulated attacks across the western world as warned of by Isis recruits, could be damaging.

Markets are now also getting jittery about President Trump’s  ability to push through policies that may benefit the U.S. economy. This is  creating doubts on the so-called reflation trade that has seen stocks become “irrationally exuberant” in recent weeks.

Today’s focus is on whether Trump can gather enough support in a vote today to pass a bill to roll back Obamacare. It is the first major test of his legislative ability and whether he can keep his promises made to his supporters and the electorate.

Failure to eliminate the healthcare plan would suggest that Trump’s efforts to cut taxes and boost infrastructure will also be impeded. This could see stocks in the U.S. come under pressure and lead to renewed safe haven demand for gold.

Heightened political uncertainty in the U.S., the UK and indeed the EU will support gold and should lead to it testing resistance at the $1,250 to $1,260 per ounce level and above that resistance at $1,300 per ounce.

Silver rose 0.3 percent to $17.54 yesterday and is another 0.4% higher today to $17.69 per ounce.

Platinum and palladium also made gains and were up 0.5 percent at $962.55 per ounce and 0.3 percent to $788.85 respectively. Both have eked out further gains today with platinum at $968 and palladium rising 1.2% to $801 per ounce.
