16 жовтня 2025 року золото увійшло в історію, ставши першим активом, чия ринкова капіталізація перевищила $30 трлн. За даними World Gold Council, це сталося, коли ціна унції досягла рекордних $4357, а загальний обсяг надземних запасів – близько 218 тис. тонн. Цей прорив підкреслює стійкість золота як "безпечної гавані" в умовах глобальної нестабільності.
Зростання на 64% з початку року зумовлене кількома факторами: тривожними інфляційними очікуваннями, геополітичними ризиками, торговими війнами та скороченням ставок ФРС США. Центральні банки, як Народний банк Китаю та Резервний банк Індії, активно купують метал, збільшивши резерви до рекордних рівнів. ETF та приватні інвестори також прискорили приплив, тоді як видобуток не встигає за попитом.
Порівняно з іншими активами, золото домінує: його капіталізація в 14,5 раза перевищує $BTC ($2,1 трлн), а комбіновану вартість "Великої сімки" техгігантів (Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft тощо) – $20 трлн – взагалі в 1,5 раза. Біткоїн, попри статус "цифрового золота", показав лише 16% зростання в 2025-му, поступаючись традиційному металу.
Експерти прогнозують: середня ціна унції сягне $3675 до кінця року, з потенціалом $4000 у 2026-му. Цей рекорд сигналізує про переоцінку активів – від спекуляцій до стійкої вартості. Золото не просто виживає, а перевизначає глобальні фінанси, привертаючи увагу до токенізації та інтеграції з DeFi. Майбутнє за гібридними портфелями, де метал поєднується з криптою.

Gold futures are on a historic run, posting their largest weekly gain since 2020 as investors flock to the precious metal amid a perfect storm of economic and geopolitical uncertainty. After a brief pullback on Friday, gold remains near $4,260 per ounce, having soared to intraday highs above $4,380 earlier in the session. Over the past week, the yellow metal has surged approximately 7%, signaling what analysts are calling a “parabolic” rally.

According to Kyle Rodda, senior financial market analyst at capital.com, “Gold has gone parabolic in a perfect storm for the yellow metal.” Multiple factors are driving the surge, including escalating trade tensions between the United States and China, expectations of an imminent Federal Reserve rate cut, and growing credit concerns following regional banking turbulence.
“Gold is sending an ominous message about the future,” Rodda added. “It may suggest looming geopolitical crises, signs of global economic overheating, or, alternatively, speculative excess that could eventually unwind.”
The yellow metal’s meteoric rise is underpinned by strong central bank purchases, a weakening U.S. dollar, and falling interest rates, all of which make bullion an attractive store of value. Year-to-date, gold has jumped roughly 59%, outpacing many traditional investment avenues.
Investor demand is also evident in the surge of inflows into gold-backed ETFs, which reached record levels last quarter. The Bank of America (BofA) Fund Managers survey underscores this trend, naming gold the most crowded trade in October—surpassing even the “long Magnificent Seven” tech stocks. While 39% of surveyed fund managers report minimal exposure to gold, nearly 35% have allocations ranging from 2% to 4%, signaling growing interest in the yellow metal as a hedge against volatility.
Wall Street’s outlook on gold remains bullish. Analysts at BofA reiterated their “long gold” stance, projecting a peak price of $6,000 per ounce by mid-2026. Goldman Sachs has also raised its price target to $4,900 per ounce by the end of next year, up from a previous forecast of $4,300. Meanwhile, JPMorgan analysts foresee the possibility of gold reaching $6,000 per ounce by 2029, reflecting confidence in the metal’s long-term resilience amid ongoing macroeconomic risks.
As investors seek safe-haven assets amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty, gold’s dramatic surge underscores its enduring role as a global hedge. While some caution that the parabolic rally may indicate speculative excess, the current momentum suggests that gold will continue to dominate investor attention in the months and years ahead.

The Devil's Metal Shines: Why Silver is Set to Dethrone Stocks

While gold grabs headlines with its record runs, its more volatile cousin, silver, is quietly positioning itself for a period of historic outperformance against the stock market. This isn't just a precious metal story; it's a play on industrial transformation and monetary dynamics.

Silver possesses a unique dual identity. Like gold, it is a monetary metal and a classic hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. In an environment of falling real interest rates and a potentially weakening U.S. dollar, its allure as a store of value intensifies. However, its price is often more reactive than gold's, meaning its moves can be sharper and more pronounced.

But the real differentiator is its industrial demand. Silver is the most conductive metal on earth, and it is critical to the global energy transition. It is an essential component in photovoltaic (PV) cells for solar panels, electric vehicles, and 5G infrastructure. As governments worldwide push for green energy, the demand for silver is becoming inelastic—we simply cannot build these technologies without it. This creates a fundamental supply-demand squeeze that equities simply cannot match.

While stocks will face headwinds from slowing economic growth and elevated valuations, silver is supported by both monetary policy (as a safe haven) and fiscal policy (via green energy subsidies). This powerful combination makes it one of the most compelling assets to not just keep pace with, but potentially dramatically outperform, the traditional stock market in the coming years.$BTC #Silver #XAG #PreciousMetals #Commodities #Outperform #stock #InflationHedge #IndustrialMetals #GreenEnergy #Solar #Investing #Trading
