Gold Surpasses $4,000 as Investors Seek Safe Havens Amid Global Turmoil
Gold breached the $4,000 per ounce threshold for the first time in history, trading at $4,031.40 by early EST hours. The 51.6% year-to-date surge reflects deepening anxiety over geopolitical instability—from the U.S. government shutdown to leadership transitions in Japan and France.
Goldman Sachs' forecast of $4,000 Gold by mid-2026 was eclipsed months early as ETFs see record inflows. September 2025 marked the strongest three-year demand for gold-backed funds, with rate cut expectations amplifying their appeal over equities.
