Gold Near $5,000 per Ounce as Geopolitics and Rate‑Cut Hopes Drive Prices

Gold prices surged past $4,950 an ounce on Friday, carving a fresh all‑time high and setting the stage for the strongest weekly rally since March 2020. The upward thrust is being powered by a mix of lingering geopolitical tensions, a weakening US dollar and mounting expectations that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting rates before year‑end, a combination that traditionally fuels safe‑haven assets like gold. Former President Donald Trump’s recent statements on Greenland access and the removal of European tariff threats have added another layer of uncertainty, while the latest US inflation data confirmed a continued disinflation trend, prompting markets to price in two Fed rate cuts. All signs point to the yellow metal testing the psychologically important $5,000 barrier soon.
