It’s official — gold has broken through the historic $4,000 barrier, soaring to $4,059 before steadying near $4,046. This milestone marks one of the strongest rallies in modern financial history, driven by a perfect mix of inflation fears, geopolitical conflicts, and global economic uncertainty.
Over the past month alone, gold has surged 11.7%, and since the start of 2025, it’s up an astonishing 55%. The rally has been powered by a weakening U.S. dollar, the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, and rising geopolitical risks across Europe and the Middle East. Meanwhile, central banks around the world have been aggressively stockpiling gold, seeking protection from fiat currency instability.
Gold’s reputation as the world’s ultimate safe haven has never been stronger. Exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows are at record levels, and institutional forecasts are catching up. Goldman Sachs has raised its target to $4,900, while UBS now expects prices to reach $4,200, signaling a major shift toward long-term structural demand.
Still, short-term caution lingers. With the RSI above 90, some analysts warn that a brief correction could be on the horizon. However, the broader sentiment remains decisively bullish — many now see a credible path to $10,000 gold by 2030, fueled by deglobalization, monetary instability, and the global pivot toward hard assets.
At the same time, silver is quietly approaching $50, hinting that a full-blown precious metals supercycle may be underway.
In a world gripped by volatility and declining trust in fiat systems, gold isn’t just shining — it’s reclaiming dominance as the ultimate store of value.
