Gold prices $4000 per ounce — the world witnessed a historic milestone as global gold rates surged past the $4,000 mark for the first time ever. The record-breaking rally comes amid growing global economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and investors turning to gold as a safe-haven asset.
In a historic surge, global gold prices crossed $4,000 per ounce for the first time ever, driven by rising economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and investor demand for safe-haven assets.
According to international news agencies, the unprecedented rally reflects investor flight from volatile equity markets amid fears of a global slowdown and escalating geopolitical risks. Analysts say expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve may soon cut interest rates have further fueled the gold rally, as lower yields typically boost non-interest-bearing assets like gold.
Gold prices have risen 52% so far in 2025, following a 27% jump in 2024, marking one of the strongest two-year runs in recent history.
In Pakistan, domestic gold prices are also climbing in line with global trends. On Monday, the price of gold per tola increased by Rs1,500, reaching Rs416,778, according to the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association.
Market analysts expect further gains if global inflation fears persist and monetary easing continues.
