Gold prices edged higher on Wednesday, hovering near an eight-year high, as a spike in COVID-19 infections in the United States assuaged hopes of a swift economic rebound, pushing investors towards the safety of bullion.

Spot gold edged up 0.1% at $1,782.21 per ounce by 0115 GMT, after hitting its highest since early October 2012 at $1,785.46 in the previous session.

U.S. gold futures eased 0.1% to $1,799.30.

Fresh U.S. coronavirus cases could more than double to 100,000 per day if the current surge spirals further out of control, the government’s top infectious disease expert warned on Tuesday.
