Global gold prices have surged over 3% in Tuesday’s trading session, setting a new record high, as prolonged economic and geopolitical uncertainties continue to drive investors towards precious metals as a safe haven.
At one point, spot gold prices reached a peak of $5,181.84 per ounce. Previously, in Monday’s session, gold prices had surpassed the significant $5,000 per ounce mark for the first time. At the time of reporting, prices were fluctuating around $5,175.90 per ounce.
Since the beginning of the year, gold prices have risen by more than 18%, continuing the record-breaking momentum of last year, driven by a combination of factors including increased economic and geopolitical uncertainties, expectations of interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), and central banks’ increased gold purchases amid a global trend of “de-dollarization.”
“Price rallies typically only end when the initial drivers that brought investors into the gold market no longer exist – and that hasn’t happened yet,” said Michael Widmer, commodities strategist at Bank of America.
Concerns continue to grow after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to impose additional tariffs on imports from South Korea, while the risk of a partial U.S. government shutdown looms ahead of the budget approval deadline on January 30th.
The market is now focused on the Fed’s two-day policy meeting, which began on Tuesday. The Fed is expected to keep interest rates unchanged, and investors are particularly attentive to Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference on Wednesday, amid growing concerns about the central bank’s independence.
Both Deutsche Bank and Société Générale have forecasted that gold prices could reach $6,000 per ounce by the end of this year.
