Gold Blasts Above $5,000 as Safe-Haven Rush Accelerates Gold just ripped through $5,000/oz for the first time as geopolitical stress and fresh dollar pressure send capital straight into safe-havens. And if U.S. authorities are comfortable with a weaker dollar, that only reinforces the move into hard assets. The backdrop is stacking up in gold’s favor. Central banks continue diversifying reserves away from the dollar, global policy uncertainty is elevated, and multiple central banks are either easing or leaning dovish — compressing real yields and reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets. Add in geopolitical flare-ups, currency volatility, and fading confidence in traditional policy, and the demand for protection assets like gold becomes structural, not just tactical. What a rally nonetheless. - Alan
