Gold has surged about 40% year-over-year, trading above
$3,600/oz. Goldman Sachs says prices could hit
$5,000 if just 1% of U.S. Treasury investments shift to gold, and sees
$4,000 by mid-2026.
Fed rate cuts are fueling demand, with some experts calling gold a safe-haven against inflation, debt, and geopolitical risks. Others warn it produces no income, is taxed heavily, and can be volatile.
Opinions vary: some favor physical gold as “insurance,” while others prefer ETFs for liquidity and lower costs. Most agree on keeping exposure modest (3%–10%) as a hedge, not a growth driver.
