Gold hits record as stocks fall on Greenland tariff tensions

Spot gold climbed to $4,689.39 an ounce, while silver rose to $94.08. Global stock markets and U.S. equity futures fell, while the dollar weakened, as heightened geopolitical uncertainty drove demand for traditional safe-haven assets during early trading.
