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.
