Gold Price Hits Historic Highs Amid Potential Economic Uncertainty

Los Angeles, CA – May 26, 2025 – Gold recently hit new all-time highs, cementing its status as a strong-performing financial asset with a centuries-old reputation as a store of wealth. Over the past year, gold has surged 44%, outpacing a basket of 12 leading global asset classes, according to the BlackRock Investment Institute.

Near the end of May, gold is hovering around $3,300 per ounce, with continuing strong momentum. Recent market conditions have propelled gold to new all-time highs, signaling strong demand from consumers. Here are a few  key factors that may be driving the upward trend:

New Tariff Announcements: President Trump’s announcements concerning new tariffs could be having an effect on gold prices. Historically, whenever tariffs are introduced or increased, demand for gold tends to rise. This is because tariffs create uncertainty, fueling concerns about inflation, stock market volatility, and overall economic stability. Gold has long been regarded as a stable asset, preserving its value during times of economic uncertainty.

Safe-Haven Demand: The surge in gold prices has also been fueled in part by strong safe-haven buying. Since the financial disruptions of 2020, gold has remained a preferred asset for those seeking stability. The 2023 banking crisis reignited demand for gold as concerns over financial stability pushed more people toward safe-haven assets. Today, as the possibility of new tariffs looms, many are turning to gold as a way to help protect their wealth in a potentially unpredictable economic climate.

Central Bank Purchases: Central banks around the globe continue to amass gold at record levels due to shifting trade policies. Nations like China and Russia are rumored to be stockpiling gold as part of a broader strategy to challenge the US dollar’s dominance in global trade. Smaller nations, meanwhile, are bolstering their gold reserves as a hedge against economic instability and inflation.
