For the first time in history, gold quotes overcame the psychological level of $3,000, reaching $3,004.95. During today's trading, the quotes dropped slightly to $2,994.3. This price jump is part of a long-term trend: gold has risen in price by 14% since the beginning of the year, and by 82% over the past five years. Analysts single out the trade war between the United States and the EU as one of the main factors behind the record rise in prices for precious metals. The introduction of mutual duties, as well as threats from President Trump about 200% tariffs on European alcohol, contributed to the fact that investors began to look for a «safe haven» in gold. In addition, the weakening of the dollar also played a role: the DXY index fell by 4% in a month amid concerns about a slowdown in the US economy, which made gold more attractive to holders of other currencies. In addition, central banks, especially in developing countries, are increasing their gold reserves: according to a survey by the World Gold Council, 81% of respondents plan to increase their gold reserves next year. Finally, the decline in interest in cryptocurrencies after the introduction of regulatory restrictions also contributed to the influx of investments in gold. Between February 18 and February 21, 2025, gold ETFs recorded significant inflows of $5.2 billion amid geopolitical instability and economic risks.
