Gold has reclaimed its place as the ultimate safe-haven asset, with demand from both institutional and retail investors driving prices to unprecedented highs. The precious metal recently hit a new all-time record of 2,942 dollars per troy ounce in Asian trading, reflecting an 11.2% increase since the start of 2025.

Gold has firmly established itself as the best-performing asset of the “Trump trade” era, rising faster than equities, bonds, and even cryptocurrencies. Since Donald Trump’s inauguration, the precious metal has surged more than 7%, reaching a new record of 2,942 dollars per troy ounce not so far ago.

Over the past year, gold has experienced an exceptional rally, with prices surging nearly 30% since January 2024. As of early February 2025, the precious metal is trading at 2,873 dollars per ounce, surpassing its previous record from October, when it peaked at 2,788 dollars per ounce.
