Gold prices have surged to historic highs as geopolitical tensions and interest rate cut expectations fuel safe-haven demand.
Gold climbed above $4,500 an ounce for the first time in history, driven by rising geopolitical tensions in Venezuela and growing expectations of U.S. interest rate cuts. Investors moved into safe-haven assets following U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan oil tankers and signs the Federal Reserve may ease policy in 2026.
Gold has gained nearly 70% in 2025, marking its strongest annual performance since 1979. Silver has surged almost 150%, while platinum has also hit record levels, highlighting a broad rally across precious metals. Central-bank buying and steady inflows into gold-backed ETFs have supported prices throughout the year.
Silver broke above $70 an ounce, fueled by speculative demand and supply disruptions, while platinum jumped past $2,300, its biggest annual rise on record. Analysts warn that tight supplies and ongoing deficits could keep prices elevated, though overbought indicators suggest near-term volatility.
