The gold price is now reaching historic new heights – but what is driving the surge, and what does the future hold for the shining metal? At Tavex, we’ve taken a closer look!

Gold’s Record-Breaking Rally in 2025

As we at Tavex pointed out earlier this year, several factors could drive the gold price significantly higher in 2025 – and that is exactly what we are seeing now. The gold price has risen by over 50 percent this year and has now surpassed $4,000 per ounce – the strongest rally since the oil crisis of the 1970s.

On October 7, history was also made when gold for the first time ever passed 1.2 million Swedish kronor per kilo.

Why Is Gold Rising So Fast?

Behind the surge lies massive inflows from central banks, private investors, and ETFs. So far this year, more than $60 billion has flowed into gold ETFs – setting a new record.

Some analysts call it “gold-plated FOMO” – a fear of missing out so powerful that it is itself driving prices higher.

Concerns Among the World’s Wealthiest Investors

Not everyone is equally enthusiastic. Ken Griffin, founder of hedge fund Citadel, calls the development “deeply worrying” as investors now view gold as a safer asset than the dollar. He describes the U.S. economy as being in a “sugar rush” – with stimulus measures that resemble crisis policy rather than a normal situation.

Central Banks and New Portfolio Strategies

At the same time, central banks – particularly in countries with strained relations with the U.S. – have continued buying gold at record pace. China, for example, has reduced its holdings of U.S. Treasuries and instead bought gold – a clear signal of shifting global market dynamics.

Even Wall Street’s largest banks are now talking about rethinking the classic 60/40 portfolio split between equities and bonds. Morgan Stanley has proposed a new model: 60/20/20 – where gold receives as much weight as fixed-income assets.

And Ray Dalio, founder of one of the world’s largest hedge funds, Bridgewater Associates, goes even further – recommending that investors hold around 15 percent of their portfolio in gold.

Outlook: Could $5,000 Be Next?

Looking ahead, Goldman Sachs forecasts that gold could reach $4,300 per ounce as early as next year. In a scenario where just one percent of U.S. Treasuries were shifted into gold, the price could climb all the way to $5,000 per ounce.

What Does This Mean for Investors?

The trend shows that gold is no longer seen solely as a dull and stable asset – but as one of the most sought-after investments in the world right now. At the same time, it also signals that something in the global economy is out of balance.

Three key factors behind gold’s strength:

  • Record purchases by central banks
  • Increased demand from private investors
  • New portfolio strategies giving gold greater weight
