In recent years, gold has taken the task of justifying its high position between the origins to the heart and outperformed the vast majority of its typical competitors.
The impressive assembly in long and short -term plans also led to an escalation of prices. Specifically, it took the commodity of more than a year to reach its target of $ 3,000, but its rapid raid 2025 is now threatening to nullify the prevailing expectations of $ 4,000.
Since late 2023, experts like Bloomberg Mike McGlion, the main strategy expert of commodities, calls for a march to $ 3000-a call that has turned into a collective prediction of the end of 2024. Gold finally crossed the expected threshold in mid-March of this year.
Since it was broken above the level, the commodity accelerated only its rise. Gold took nearly 22 months to cross the distance between $ 2000 and $ 3000, assuming that it maintains the speed seen in recent weeks, as it may make the trip up to $ 4000 in less than three months.
On the other hand, if the yellow metal continues, the prevailing 2025 targets will be nullified by reaching it, thus opening the possibility that the commodity will fall to $ 5,000 before the end of the year.
Once again, it should be noted that the recent climbing speed indicates that gold that strikes the noble goal by October or November is reasonable.
Why is gold not likely to reach $ 5,000 in 2025
However, while there is a consensus that $ 4000 is an applicable goal for 2025, and the investment strategy is Ed Yardini out With $ 5,000 forecast for 2026, the highest number appears to be somewhat questionable.
Economic uncertainty was a major driver in the gathering of yellow metal, as national countries became concerned about the decision to freeze Russian assets, which led to the presence of the central bank purchase, and individual traders were increasingly afraid of the risks of inflation and tariff.
By the time of the press on April 22, it seems very unlikely that the overall situation remains bad enough to justify the purchase of more gold at prices already derived without leading to a breakdown that would make the dragon look like a dragon.
Likewise, even if the fixed gathering proves, 5,000 dollars are still ambitious as 3500 dollars have already proven a difficult maintenance level. In fact, within hours of crossing over it, gold returned about $ 40 to the price of the press time of $ 3460.
