$4,428: gold hits historic record, +25% in a year and a half
WHAT HAPPENED
Gold reached a record of $4,428 per ounce, more than 25% above early 2025. A year and a half ago it cost around $2,600. The same amount of gold now costs much more.
WHY IT MATTERS
The Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates, which reduces the appeal of keeping money in banks or bonds. Additionally, the dollar has weakened, international tension has increased, and central banks have bought gold.
AND FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO
The rise makes jewelry and gold purchases more expensive, but benefits the part of savings or funds already linked to this metal. Gold does not pay interest: its value depends on the price, which can also drop when uncertainty decreases.
