Gold Prices Hit Record High, Up 65% in One Year

The price of gold has recorded a sharp increase over the past year, reflecting one of the most notable performances in international precious metals markets.

According to data from December 2025, gold is trading at around $4,342 per ounce, while a year earlier, in December 2024, the price stood at approximately $2,600 per ounce. This represents an annual increase of about 65.15%, a level considered exceptionally high in the history of the gold market.

Experts emphasize that this strong performance in 2025 follows another positive year for gold. During 2024, the price of the precious metal rose by around 26.3%, reaffirming its role as a safe-haven asset during periods of economic and geopolitical uncertainty.

The continued rise in gold prices is linked to factors such as global inflation, instability in financial markets, and strong demand from investors and central banks.

For the most up-to-date information on gold prices and historical analyses, the main references remain international platforms specializing in precious metals markets.
