Gold prices climbed Friday, putting bullion on course for a gain of nearly 5% this week, as bond market jitters, a softer dollar and renewed concerns over U.S. debt helped revive demand for the precious metal.

Gold futures rose 1.67% to $4,647.70 in early trading Friday, while spot bullion prices notched a 1.55% gain, trading at $4,588.08. The advance caps a positive week for the precious metal, which is up 4.7% over the five-day period, with futures moving toward a three-month high.

The rebound follows gold’s sharp reversal from record highs of almost $5,600 earlier this year, and its worst quarterly perfomance since 2013 in the three months through June.

Giovanni Staunovo, commodity analyst at UBS, said rising debt levels globally, coupled with sustained weakness in the dollar, underpinned gold’s surge last year — and now those concerns are returning.

″[That] should lift the price of gold to $5,400 per ounce over the next 12 months, in our view,” Staunovo told CNBC via email.

The “Bond King” has a warning for investors jumping into the risk-on trade.

Jeffrey Gundlach, the legendary fixed-income investor and the CIO of DoubleLine Capital, said he was recommending that investors load up on cash, gold, and other “real assets” in their portfolios this year. Speaking to Bloomberg this week, he pointed to a handful of risks he saw looming over stocks and other risk assets — namely, the risk that the Fed could hike rates rather than cut them.

Gundlach, a longtime bear who’s repeatedly warned of hotter inflation and the US dollar eroding in value, pointed to expectations at the start of the year that the central bank would issue two to three rate cuts by 2026-end.

“If you’re buying risk assets on the back of only two rate cuts — is your high conviction idea — you’re back on the wrong horse. We’re not going to get rate cuts this year,” Gundlach said.

Gold and silver surged to fresh highs just days after breaking previous records, as investors flock to safe-haven assets amid a choppy geopolitical and economic ‍outlook.

U.S. gold futures for February delivery rose 1.71% to $4,674.20 per ounce on Monday, after earlier hitting a record high last week. Spot gold was 1.6% higher at $4,668.14.

It comes after U.S. President Donald Trump announced tariffs on goods from eight European countries until a deal for “the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland,” as he ramps up his rhetoric on annexing the Arctic island.

Gold’s rally may have grabbed more headlines, but both silver and the yellow metal warrant closer analysis. Both commodities are surging—and yet, neither may have reached their ceiling.

Silver Steps Out Of Gold’s Shadow

The Financial Times recently reported that the U.S. added silver to its official list of critical minerals, alongside copper, underscoring its role in the global energy transition.

The move is more than symbolic: It places silver in the same strategic category as lithium and nickel—indispensable to solar panels, batteries and electronics.

This reclassification has two major implications. First, it formalizes silver’s position as a national-security resource, tying its price trajectory to policy-driven demand rather than just investor sentiment. Second, it widens the procurement base. Governments, defense contractors and clean-energy manufacturers are all entering the market.

Alpine Macro argues that this dual role—part commodity, part currency—makes silver uniquely leveraged to both ……

Central banks snapped up gold at a record pace last year, putting the safe-haven metal ahead of the euro as the second-most popular reserve asset.

A report issued Wednesday by the European Central Bank highlighted the shifts underway in the portfolios of global central banks. Reserve managers bought 1,000 metric tons of gold, double the pace of the previous decade. A price rally also helped lift gold’s portion of total reserves to 20%.

Central banks have pared back dollar holdings in recent years, with the currency’s share of all reserve assets falling to 46% last year.

Financial sanctions imposed on Russia, which saw some $300 billion of central-bank assets frozen in 2022, showed how dollar assets can be used as a weapon……

The price of gold has been on a tear in recent years and could reach astronomical heights by the end of the decade if foreign investors shift away slightly from the U.S., according to analysts at JPMorgan.

In a note, they laid out a scenario where gold would hit $6,000 per ounce by 2029, an 80% jump from the current price of about $3,300.

If just 0.5% of foreign-held U.S. assets are reallocated to gold, that would result in 18% annual returns and eventually send prices to $6,000, JPMorgan estimated.

That’s because the supply of gold isn’t expanding by much, meaning that a relatively minuscule boost in demand can create a big price swing.

“While hypothetical, this scenario illustrates why we remain structurally bullish gold and think prices have further to run,” analysts wrote.

Gold has jumped more than 20% so far this year, and ……

China’s central bank added gold to its reserves for a fifth straight month in March, deepening its bet on the precious metal as a haven asset amid rising global trade and geopolitical turmoil.

Gold held by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) rose by 0.09 million troy ounces last month, according to data released on Monday. The central bank’s recent run of buying started in November, after a six-month hiatus that followed an 18-month buying spree.

The PBOC’s purchases are part of a broader trend among central banks across the world seeking to diversify reserves by boosting gold holding,

How much gold do you own? The correct answer is: “Not enough.”

Today’s gold price is over $2,900, which means that the purchasing power of a dollar over the past century-plus has shrunk by a factor of 145 times. In other words, a single dollar back in 1914 is the equivalent of $145 today. This is why people and institutions (certainly central banks) are buying gold. And it’s why gold deserves a place in every portfolio.

Let’s dig into what’s happening with gold, what it means, and how to deal with it.

Gold Prices Have Been Rising for Quite a While

On Jan. 20, 2025, when Donald Trump was inaugurated, an ounce of gold was quoted at $2,740. Now, a month into Trump’s second term, that same metal will set you back over $2,900, a rise of not quite 7% in just a few weeks.

But don’t blame the rising gold price on Trump. Hey, after only a month in the Oval Office, this is not (yet) Trump’s economy. Many Biden administration legacies ……

Today, we are seeing a lot of the institutions and bad ideas of the Post World War II Consensus breaking down and collapsing. Among these is the rather stupid notion that economies should be managed by some combination of currency and interest rate manipulation, and “fiscal stimulus” spending that amounts to utter waste, for the simple reason that it has no justification except as “stimulus.” These are the conclusions of “Keynesianism,” which has been taught in all universities since the 1940s.

Note how this is completely opposed to what I’ve called the Magic Formula: Low Taxes, and Stable Money. This is the Formula that enabled the United States to become the wealthiest country in the world. 

If the US sadly deviates from this Formula today, nevertheless taxes are Lower, and the currency is more Stable, in the US than in most any other developed country today.

We see that it takes more and more dollars to buy an ounce of gold; and also, more and more euros or yen. This is probably a reflection of a declining value of the dollar, euro and yen themselves, rather than any change in gold.   To continue reading this article, click here!
