Gold Surpasses $3,000/oz in Historic Safe-Haven Rally

Gold broke through the $3,000 per ounce barrier for the first time on March 14, 2025, marking a historic rally as investors sought refuge in the safe-haven asset amid escalating economic uncertainty, as reported by Reuters.

This milestone, driven by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and global trade tensions, saw spot gold hit an all-time high of $3,004.86 earlier in the session, before easing 0.1% to $2,986.26 by 02:01 p.m. ET (1801 GMT) due to profit-taking, while U.S. gold futures settled 0.3% higher at $3,001.10.

The surge reflects gold’s role as a hedge against currency depreciation, inflation, and systemic risks, bolstered by central bank demand, expectations of U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts, and geopolitical instability, including Russia-Ukraine tensions and U.S.-China trade disputes.

This rally, up nearly 14% year-to-date, aligns with concerns over Trump’s aggressive tariffs—25% on imports from Mexico and Canada, 20% on Chinese goods, and reciprocal tariffs set for April 2, 2025—sparking a selloff in stock markets and driving investors toward gold as a stable store of value. Tai Wong, an independent metals trader, noted that “beleaguered investors [are] seeking the ultimate safe-haven asset given Trump’s tumult on stock markets,” while GoldCore CEO David Russell emphasized continued record-level central bank acquisitions to diversify away from a volatile U.S. dollar. Goldman Sachs raised its 2025 gold forecast to $3,100, with potential upside to $3,300 if policy uncertainty persists, and the World Gold Council highlighted heightened geopolitical and economic risks as key drivers.

For investors, gold’s breakout signals opportunity amid crypto market volatility, like Bitcoin’s drop below $80,000, but its sustainability depends on inflation trends and monetary policy, with resources like Crypto News Updates on news.thecoininfo.com keeping you updated on this landmark moment.
