The price of gold reached $4,000 an ounce for the first time ever

Gold prices surged over 50% in 2025 as investors seek safety amid the U.S. government shutdown, geopolitical tensions, and expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts.

  • On Tuesday, gold climbed above $4,000 per ounce for the first time, with futures around $4,003 and New York spot gold near $3,960.60.
  • The U.S. government shutdown disrupted federal economic data and heightened investor anxiety, while traders price in Federal Reserve rate cuts and escalating geopolitical tensions increase gold's safe-haven demand.
  • Central banks and ETFs have supplied much of the buying pressure, with gold surging 52% this year and China adding reserves for the 11th straight month.
  • Bank of America urged caution Monday as equity markets softened modestly, while analysts warn a correction could follow if the shutdown ends or rates stabilize, risking retail investors.
  • Some strategists project further upside, with Goldman Sachs raising its December 2026 gold target to $4,900, while markets price in a quarter-point Fed cut at the October 28-29, 2025 meeting.
