Gold climbed to a record above $3,800 an ounce as precious metals surged, boosted by a weaker dollar as investors weighed a potential US government shutdown. Bullion rose as much as 1.4% to an all-time high of $3,812.05 an ounce — eclipsing a peak reached last Tuesday — after notching six straight weekly gains. The dollar fell as investors awaited developments ahead of a planned meeting between top US congressional leaders and President Donald Trump on Monday — a day before federal funding would expire if an agreement on a short-term spending bill can’t be reached. A shutdown would threaten the release of key data including Friday’s payrolls report, which economists expect would show subdued jobs growth in September.
