Gold (XAU/USD) started the year on a bullish note and registered impressive gains in the first quarter. Following a consolidation phase during the summer months, the precious metal surged higher in the third quarter and reached an all-time record high of $4,381 in October. Although XAU/USD corrected lower, buyers refused to hand over the reins heading into the holiday season.
Throughout 2025, Gold set over 50 record peaks and rose more than 60%, becoming one of the best-performing commodities of the year. A combination of fundamental factors fuelled the precious metal's relentless advance, allowing investors to ignore technically overbought conditions.
Assessing Gold's annual gains, "this performance has been supported by a combination of heightened geopolitical and economic uncertainty, a weaker US Dollar, and positive price momentum. Both investors and central banks have increased their allocations to Gold, seeking diversification and stability," said the World Gold Council.
2026 is poised to be an interesting year for Gold. Changes in global economic dynamics, the ever-shifting geopolitical landscape, institutional activity and major central banks' monetary policy decisions could all play a role in the yellow metal's pricing through the year.
