US EditionThe price of gold reached $4,000 an ounce for the first time ever
Gold prices rose over 50% this year as investors seek a safe haven amid US government shutdown, geopolitical tensions, and expected Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
- On Oct. 7, 2025, gold topped $4,000 per troy ounce for the first time, with New York futures near $4,003 and spot close to $3,960.60.
- The U.S. government shutdown and geopolitical strains have helped lift prices, with gold surging 52% as the U.S. dollar weakened about 10% this year.
- ETF inflows and institutional demand have added fuel to the rally, with central banks buying 415 tons in the first half and ETFs drawing $26 billion, while Goldman Sachs raised its forecast to $4,900.
- Major stock indexes reacted with modest losses as investors rebalanced, with the euro and Japanese yen weakening and French bond yields rising while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission warned about gold's volatility.
- The $4,000 t milestone could mark a broader shift in reserve strategy, as analysts say central banks and investors seek diversification if the U.S. shutdown persists or the Federal Reserve signals cuts.
