Gold has continued to rise today after breaking above $5,000 on Sunday. The increase follows a strong year for the asset, continuing a historic rally that pushed the precious metal up more than 60% in 2025.
Today, gold prices hit an all-time high of $5,110.50 per ounce within the first few hours.
Other safe-haven assets have also increased, with silver surpassing $100 an ounce for the first time, following nearly 150% growth last year.
The rapid rise in precious metals has been fueled by several factors, such as elevated inflation, a weak US dollar, purchases by central banks worldwide, and expectations of another US Federal Reserve interest rate cut this year.
Robin Brooks, of the Brookings Institution, wrote on Sunday, “The rise in precious metals prices is breathtaking and profoundly scary.”
The shift from risk assets to safe-haven assets has led to a decline in crypto. Today, Bitcoin experienced a modest recovery after dropping as much as 3.5% on Sunday to a low slightly above $86,000. It has since regained some ground, now trading near $87,883.
