LONDON: Gold topped US$2,000 per ounce for the time in more than a year Monday on haven demand as investors fretted over global bank fears despite the buyout of Credit Suisse.
The precious metal, seen as a safe store of value in times of turmoil, rose as high as US$2,009.73 in early morning London deals.
That was the highest level since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine just over one year ago.

The metal has jumped by almost nine percent in value since the collapse of US regional lender Silicon Valley Bank ten days ago.
