7 October 2025 – Gold prices have surged past $4,000 per ounce for the first time, setting a new historic record in global markets. The rally reflects heightened investor demand for safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainty, rising inflation, and geopolitical tensions.
In New York, gold futures jumped above $4,000 in early trading, with trading volumes spiking sharply. Analysts attribute the surge to a weaker U.S. dollar, persistent inflation pressures, and concerns over global financial stability. Central banks’ continued purchases of gold and strong inflows into gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have also supported the rally.
“This milestone highlights gold’s enduring role as a barometer of risk,” said market strategist James Thornton. “Investors are seeking security in uncertain times, and gold remains the preferred hedge.”
Gold has outperformed most major asset classes this year, gaining more than 50 percent. While optimism is high, some analysts caution that volatility could increase, and a correction may occur if investor sentiment shifts.
The record $4,000 milestone underscores the precious metal’s continuing importance in global finance and as a safe investment in times of economic turbulence.
