Gold prices rose above $2,400 per ounce to an all-time high last week, heading for their fourth week of gains, as growing tensions in the Middle East prompted investors to seek refuge in the safe haven asset. US Steel shareholders approved its proposed $14.9 billion acquisition by Japan's Nippon Steel as expected, taking the merger one step closer to completion, even as political opposition to the deal mounts. US Energy shares are soaring as investors benefit from rising oil prices and a stronger than expected economy. The S&P 500 energy sector is up about 177% in 2024, roughly doubling the broader index's year-to-date return.
