US EditionGold blasts past $5,000 to record high on safe-haven rush
Gold hit $5,000 an ounce driven by geopolitical tensions, dollar weakness, and record $559 billion in global ETF assets, marking its biggest rally since the 1970s.
- Jan 26: Gold surged to a record above $5,100, with spot gold earlier touching $5,110.50 and U.S. gold futures for February delivery rising to $5,086.30.
- Surging safe-haven demand and policy moves lifted prices, with Gold's 2025 rally driven by safe-haven demand, US monetary easing, central banks including China, and tensions over Greenland.
- Retail demand and small-business stress were evident, as gold prices set weekly peaks and rose over 18% this year, straining Australian mints and jewelers, said Cooper.
- Markets reacted with broad precious-metal gains as U.S. gold futures for February delivery rose 2.01 to $5,079.30, with spot platinum and palladium hitting multi-year records.
- Analysts project further gains as spot gold cleared resistance at $5,070 and is expected to rise into a $US5,154 to $US5,206 range, with a $US5,500 forecast for later this year, Philip Newman and Wang Tao said.
