Gold prices have surged to an all-time high amid heightened geopolitical tensions, shifting monetary policies, and persistent inflationary pressures. Central banks worldwide have continued to increase their gold reserves, supporting demand alongside strong interest from retail and institutional investors.
The rally has been further fueled by weaker global equity markets and concerns over potential economic slowdowns in major economies. Gold-backed exchange-traded funds have seen renewed inflows, while jewelry demand in key markets remains resilient.
Financial advisors caution that while gold offers a hedge against uncertainty, the current price levels may prompt short-term corrections. Long-term investors are advised to focus on gradual accumulation strategies rather than aggressive buying during price spikes.
