Gold Reaches New All-Time High! December 22, 2025 – Gold prices rose to a new all-time high (ATH) today, reaching $4,384.79 per ounce. This record is part of a strong upward trend that has continued since the beginning of 2025. Throughout the year, gold has gained approximately 65% in value, exhibiting its best annual performance since 1979. Starting from around $2,600 per ounce in January, gold has steadily risen thanks to geopolitical tensions, massive gold purchases by central banks, and expectations of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed). Why Did It Rise So Much? Geopolitical risks: Tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East have driven investors towards safe-haven assets. Central bank purchases: Central banks, led by developing countries, have stockpiled record levels of gold. Economic uncertainties: Trade wars, inflation concerns, and a weakening dollar have supported gold. Investor demand: There has been a surge in demand for gold ETFs and physical gold. Experts predict that gold could test the $5,000 level in 2026, but short-term fluctuations are possible. This is absolutely not investment advice. Always do your own research. #XAUT #PAXG
