Today, global markets witnessed a historic milestone as gold prices exceeded $5000 per ounce for the first time. According to Reuters, on Monday morning, gold was trading around $5100 per ounce.
Analysts link the price surge to rising geopolitical tensions worldwide. During periods of uncertainty, investors typically view gold as a safe-haven asset and increase their purchases. Additional pressure came from reports that the US might impose a 100% import tariff on Canadian goods if an agreement with China is reached.
In 2025, gold prices rose by 64% due to US monetary policy easing, demand from China’s central bank, and growing investor interest in precious metals. Even in Turkmenistan, this historic price movement captured the attention of investors and financial observers.

A rye-wheat loaf preserved in a freezer for 36 years has been put on public display as part of the permanent exhibition at the Deutschlandmuseum in Berlin. Dubbed "The Last Loaf of the GDR," it was originally purchased on June 26, 1990, by student Michael Hagedorn, who bought an extra loaf fearing potential food shortages amidst the economic unification of East and West Germany.
The museum's director, Robert Rückel, described the unusual artifact as a unique poignant symbol of everyday human decisions during times of monumental geopolitical change. To maintain its preserved state, the museum installed a custom refrigeration unit where the historical loaf remains permanently frozen for visitors to view.
