Gold has had a strong run in recent weeks, hitting record highs as investors pile into safe-haven assets. While markets are busy debating whether $4,000/oz is the next cinematic climax, the sober reality is more measured. The biggest driver is still the expectation that the Federal Reserve will keep cutting rates steadily, pulling down bond yields and making gold more attractive compared to fixed income. Historically, “when yields go to sleep, gold wakes up.” Add in concerns about a slowing global economy and geopolitical risks, and bullion has had no shortage of reasons to shine.
ETF inflows and central bank buying have only added fuel. Global reserve managers continue to diversify away from the dollar, keeping a steady bid under gold. On the demand side, India’s imports have nearly doubled despite record prices, showing that seasonal and cultural buying remains intact. Meanwhile, gold miners and ETFs have drawn in strong fund flows, reflecting investor confidence that bullion still has a role to play in portfolios. As of 10:40 am Singapore Standard Time, Gold Comex futures trade at $3894 per ounce after marking a record high of $3899.20 per ounce.
But momentum is looking stretched. Technical signals show fragility, with sharp rallies often followed by quick reversals. That’s why, even as some market voices speculate on Bullion’s next move higher, I stand to differ. My near-term target has been $3,800-$3900, and pushing decisively beyond that would require a much bigger shock in the global macro picture. In other words, for gold to fly further, something has to break — whether it’s a deeper economic slowdown, a faster Fed pivot, or a geopolitical flare-up. For now, technicals point that the rally has lost immediate strength, and traders should be cautious about chasing breakouts until momentum re-aligns.
Gold is not just a trade, it’s becoming a long-term statement against uncertainty. And in that sense, the metal’s old reputation still holds true: “Gold is the mirror of our fears, but also the anchor of our trust.”
For the rest of 2025, I expect gold to consolidate at slightly lower levels, giving the market time to gather strength for the next leg up. That doesn’t mean the story is over — far from it. Central banks are still buying, investors are still hedging, and real yields are still falling. But instead of chasing every spike, investors would be wise to build positions patiently, use dips for accumulation, and stay disciplined.
