Gold Reaches Historic Highs in 2025, Approaching $4,500 per Ounce

Gold has experienced remarkable performance this year, achieving gains of nearly 69% since the beginning of 2025, reaching unprecedented levels in its history.

The precious metal started the year at $2,624.50 per ounce, surpassing the $3,000 mark during trading on March 14, and continued its ascent, breaking through the $3,500 level on September 2.

On October 8, gold entered a new phase of growth, trading above $4,000 for the first time.

With ongoing momentum, the price exceeded $4,442.19 per ounce on December 22, coming within $58 of the $4,500 barrier and about $558 from the $5,000 mark.

This historic performance raises questions about the future trajectory of gold as the year draws to a close, amid expectations that the precious metal will continue to serve as a safe haven amid global economic turbulence.
