The most actively traded gold futures contract jumped 2.6% to $1916.30 a troy ounce, the largest percentage increase since early December. Gold is prized by investors for its stability during times of turmoil.
Gold has been trading in a rut for the past few weeks. Prices jumped to start the year, slumped in February, and then rose again in March, with investors flip-flopping on bets whether the Federal Reserve would continue to aggressively raise interest rates.
