When times are uncertain and the prospects are bad, many are afraid of their money. In difficult times they are looking for crisis -resistant investments, such as gold, which maintains its value regardless of inflation and exchange rates.

In February the value of a ounce of gold (31.1 grams) broke the $ 2,900 barrier. This is the eighth record of honor since the beginning of 2025. Everything shows that gold will exceed $ 3,000 in the coming period.

The reasons for the gold price race lead to the United States of America and President Trump. Like many other experts, Frank Salenberg, an expert on mineral issues at Bade Bank of Badeworg (LBBW), estimates that the main reason for the ejecting of gold price is “US Customs Policy. This causes uncertainty in financial markets and consequently gold is once again considered a “safe haven”. “

Demand raises the price of gold

Fears of a global crisis are also fueled by speculators. During this period, social media predictions are made by American businessman and writer Best Seller Robert Kigiosaki, who expects in 2025 a “big financial crisis”. It even recommends that citizens “bet on self -sufficiency, business activities and investments in gold, silver and bitcoin”.

The interest in gold is great: by individuals who want to secure their assets, institutional investors who do not find remarkable market yields and park their money in precious metals, but even countries. According to Commerzbank economist Karsten Fritz, their central banks are not excluded from “contributing to the honor of gold” by buying the noble metal.

Central banks usually resort to gold solution when there is a risk of imposing financial sanctions. This also applies to emerging economies, which are concerned about being affected by potential disorders in world trade or conflicts between economically powerful countries. According to Goldman Sachs Research, gold markets from emerging economies increased significantly after sanctions imposed on Russia due to an invasion of Ukraine.

Price race will end

Will gold break the $ 3,000 barrier? Frank Salenberg is sure: “I find it very likely that this will happen in the immediate future.” However, a German -based German -based LBBW issues estimated at DW that the end of gold prices is already visible, providing shortly with a short earnings. “As in 2025 the rather weak demand for jewelry and slightly reduced demand for coins and gold from central banks are likely to lead to a fall in the price of the noble metal.”

Carsten Fritz from Commerzbank also predicts that the upward course of gold value will slowly slow down: “The demand for gold from China and India will cause it. The two countries represent half of the demand for gold. ” Central banks will play an equally decisive role in the medium term, the German expert estimates: “The more interest rates are approaching their end, the price of gold will begin to slow down.”
