🟡 Gold Market News – Today’s Key Highlights

📈 Gold prices surged to fresh all-time highs above $5,500 per ounce, driven by:

Rising geopolitical tensions (especially US–Iran risks)

Safe-haven demand

Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady

Strong ETF and investor inflows

Global gold demand hit a record in 2025, according to the World Gold Council:

Total demand: 5,002 metric tons (all-time high)

Investment demand: +84% YoY

Central bank buying remained strong, though slightly lower than last year

🚀 Price Action

Gold briefly spiked near $5,600, then pulled back slightly amid profit-taking.

Analysts warn volatility is extremely high, with sharp intraday swings becoming common.

🏦 What’s Driving the Rally?

Fed pause on rate cuts → weaker dollar → bullish for gold

Geopolitical instability → flight to safety

Inflation + debt fears → gold as hedge

Massive ETF inflows & retail demand

JPMorgan analysts now see possible upside toward $8,000–$8,500 if investment demand accelerates further, though short-term pullbacks are likely.

📊 Market Outlook

Trend: Strong bullish momentum

Risk: Very high volatility, sharp corrections possible

Short-term: Choppy but elevated

Long-term: Bullish bias remains intact
