(Kitco News) Gold prices soared to eight-month highs as investors fled to the safe-haven metal on economic growth concerns and rising Russia-Ukraine tensions. Analysts see more upside for gold, pointing to $1,903-$1,923 as the critical resistance range.

"There is a lot of different angles to look at gold right now - from the macro, geopolitical, and hedge against inflation. Bitcoin and stocks are selling off, and people are looking for places to park their money. Gold is wearing a lot of different hats right now," Blue Line Futures chief market strategist Phillip Streible told Kitco News.
