Dow Rises; Gold Price Tops $5,000 for First Time -- WSJ

Dow Jones01-27

By Joe Wallace

Gold prices tore past another milestone, with tariff threats against Canada and the possibility of a fresh U.S. government shutdown adding fuel to the metal's historic rally.

Futures for the precious metal rose 2% to surpass $5,000 a troy ounce for the first time., settling at $5,079.70. Silver futures soared 14%, its biggest one-day jump in 40 years, to a fresh record above $115 a troy ounce.

Macro concerns didn't trip up stocks however, as the three major benchmarks rose on the day, led by the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The blue-chip index added 0.6%, with the S&P 500 moving 0.5% higher and the Nasdaq composite rising 0.4%.

President Trump said on Saturday he would put 100% tariffs on Canada if Prime Minister Mark Carney struck a trade deal with China.

The dollar weakened against a basket of currencies. Driving it down: a jump in the value of the yen, after Washington and Tokyo signaled they were prepared to intervene to support the Japanese currency.

Back in the U.S., natural-gas prices extended last week's rally as a winter storm disrupted swaths of the country, disrupting flights and leaving thousands without power. Futures for February delivery have roughly doubled from a week ago.
