Global Gold Price Surges Past $5,000 per Ounce for the First Time

The global price of gold has reached an all-time high, surpassing the $5,000 per ounce mark for the first time amid rising concerns over political and security issues worldwide and investors’ preference for safe-haven assets.

According to global market data, the price of gold on Monday, January 26, climbed by 1.88% to reach $5,081.45 per ounce, a level never before recorded in gold trading history.

Financial market experts typically regard gold as a primary option for preserving asset value during geopolitical and economic instability, a factor that has significantly boosted demand for this precious metal in recent days.

Crossing this psychological price barrier could impact global markets, including currency and investment markets, drawing even greater attention from investors to ongoing political and economic developments worldwide.
