BlockBeats news, February 24, UBS reiterates its positive stance on gold, expecting the international spot gold price target to reach $6,200 per ounce in the coming months.

Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on February 20, according to The Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration is considering imposing new "national security tariffs" on six industries. Sources familiar with the matter indicate that the proposed tariff scope may cover sectors such as large batteries, pig iron and iron fittings, plastic pipes, industrial chemicals, as well as power grid and telecommunications equipment. These tariffs will be levied under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. The new tariffs on the six major industries in the U.S. will be implemented separately from the new global 15% tariff. It is currently unclear when the tariff investigations, overseen by the Department of Commerce, will be announced and when they will ultimately take effect. Section 232 requires lengthy investigations before tariffs can be imposed, but once implemented, the president can modify them unilaterally. (Jin10 Data)
