Gold hits an all-time record of $4,037 per ounce, fueled by the U.S. government shutdown and global economic uncertainty.
Analysts at GOLDMARKET say the surge reflects a long-term shift toward gold as a stable and trusted store of value.
PARIS, FR / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2025 / Gold reached an all-time high of $4,037 per ounce and $129,000 per kilo, crossing the $4,000 threshold for the first time in history.
The surge comes as investors worldwide turn to safe-haven assets amid the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, persistent inflation, and rising geopolitical tensions.
According to GoldMarket, a leading French firm specializing in physical gold, this rally reflects a structural revaluation of gold's position in global finance rather than a short-term speculative spike. The company views the rise as part of a deeper correction driven by market fragility and global debt pressures.
U.S. Shutdown Triggers Global Flight to Safety
Gold has gained more than 30% since the start of 2025, fueled by growing concern over political gridlock and fiscal instability in the United States.
The budget stalemate has shaken investor confidence, prompting central banks and financial institutions to expand their gold reserves.
"Each time uncertainty rises, gold reaffirms its status as a universal store of value," said Rafik Makhlouf, founder of GoldMarket.
Additional factors have supported the rally:
Inflationary pressures in the U.S. and Europe despite tighter monetary policy
Global debt surpassing $320 trillion
Record gold purchases by central banks in Asia and the Middle East
Weakening trust in major fiat currencies
Physical Gold Remains the Core Safe Haven
In an era of volatile markets, physical bullion continues to stand as the foundation of wealth preservation.
The 1 kg gold bar, now valued at $129,000, appeals to both private and institutional investors for its liquidity and global recognition.
"Our clients aren't speculating - they're protecting their future," added Makhlouf. "Owning physical gold offers stability and independence in an uncertain financial world."
Across Europe, demand for certified gold bars and coins has risen sharply as savers look to safeguard their assets from inflation and geopolitical risk.
