What Happened to Gold in 2017?

Gold benefited from geopolitical tensions in 2017, including North Korea's missile tests and US-China trade tensions. The Fed raised rates three times but the dollar weakened, supporting gold. Bitcoin's dramatic rise attracted some safe-haven flows but gold also benefited from broader risk-off sentiment late in the year.
