Gold surpasses USD 5,000 per ounce
A major milestone in recent days has been the spot price of gold, which has exceeded USD 5,000 per troy ounce (31.1 g)for the first time in history. At one point, prices reached around USD 5,092 per ounce, corresponding to approximately EUR 4,330, depending on the exchange rate.
These figures are more than just headline news – they clearly demonstrate how strong current demand for gold is and how sensitively investors are responding to uncertainty.

Why is investment gold rising right now?
Gold prices typically rise during periods when investors seek stability and safer assets. Today, several factors are coming together at the same time:
- geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty,
- increased sensitivity of financial markets to news and events,
- expectations regarding future interest rate developments,
- growing interest in physical assets as a store of value.
Central bank gold purchases also play an important role, with many central banks significantly increasing their gold reserves in recent years. This trend confirms that gold is widely regarded as a strategic asset and a key stabilising element in times of both geopolitical and monetary uncertainty.
Will gold continue to rise? Yes – but corrections are natural
Although the long-term outlook remains positive, it is important to recognise that gold prices will not move in a straight line. Market corrections are a natural part of the cycle, and neither their timing nor their extent can be reliably predicted.
This is precisely why investment gold makes the most sense as a long-term portfolio component, rather than a short-term speculative investment.
Physical gold is becoming harder to obtain in some cases
Another interesting aspect of record prices is the situation in the physical gold market. When demand grows faster than available supply, certain products may not always be immediately available in standard quantities.
Market practice also plays a role – not every dealer anticipated such developments in advance and stocked up accordingly, while refinery and manufacturing capacities are naturally limited. As a result, the availability of selected products may fluctuate.
The good news is that we are well prepared for this situation and remain well stocked. Our current investment gold offer is available both online and in our physical stores.

Different reactions: some buy, others sell
Record prices naturally influence client behaviour:
- some investors continue buying, strengthening diversification and building physical gold reserves,
- others sell, taking advantage of high prices and realising gains on gold bars, coins or long-held assets.
Both approaches are entirely natural in such market conditions.
The silver market is also highly active
Alongside gold, the silver market has also seen strong activity. Silver prices have reached new historical levels, confirming that interest in precious metals is broad-based.

Conclusion
Gold once again confirms its role as one of the most stable assets in times of uncertainty. Record prices are not a reason for haste, but rather an opportunity to apply a well-considered strategy – whether buying or selling.
