Gold price hits record £2,985 - what does this mean?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : 'While there is little to no direct impact on the cost of living, the rise in the gold price might also reflect concern about inflation not getting under control,' Lakhani says.
50% : Why is gold increasing right now? There are many reasons why gold is hot right now, but Ash can sum it all up in a single word: 'Trump.' 'This spring's trade-tariffs chaos sent gold soaring when stock markets plunged,' he says.
50% : 'Now Trump is attacking the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, firing one policymaker, putting his own advisor on the team, and demanding that the Fed slash interest rates to juice the economy.' The US government shutting down as politicians could not agree on a budget bill for federal services last month hasn't helped either.
