Overview

  • Gold has reached an all-time high of over $3,000 per ounce, driven by inflation fears, geopolitical instability, and economic uncertainty.
  • Central banks have been significant buyers, with 2024 purchases exceeding 1,000 tons for the third consecutive year, reflecting a global shift toward physical assets.
  • Trade tensions and unpredictable tariff policies under Donald Trump’s administration have pushed investors toward gold as a safe haven.
  • Analysts predict further price increases, with some forecasting gold could peak at $3,100 by year-end as stagflation concerns grow.
  • Digital and physical gold investment options are expanding, with digital platforms offering lower costs and easier accessibility for investors.
