Gold Breaks $5,000 per Ounce Record Price: Everything to Know Now
Gold surpassed $5,000 per ounce due to persistent inflation, geopolitical risks, and Federal Reserve policy pauses, with prices hitting $5,104 on January 26, 2026.
- This week, spot gold surpassed $5,000 as the gold price hit a record $5,104.00, driven by inflation and geopolitical risks.
- Investors moved into gold as sticky inflation and heightened geopolitical uncertainty in January pushed demand for safe-haven assets, while Federal Reserve three cuts in late 2025 and a pause altered rate expectations.
- Fractional gold options remain available but fractional gold providers rose in price and became less affordable a few months ago; silver trades near $100 per ounce, offering a more affordable entry.
- Advisers recommend capping gold exposure at 10% and caution that waiting for large price drops may cause investors to miss short-lived opportunities.
- Analysts project the rally could extend through 2026, and dollar-cost averaging is recommended to gain exposure without paying today's top ounce price.
