$4,700 per ounce, a new milestone in the gold market

In January, spot gold started at around $4,320 per ounce and rose to over $4,700. With a price increase of more than $380, this trend is clearly reflected in Jin10’s real-time market data. Especially, the fact that spot gold has reached this high for the first time in history has attracted significant investor attention.

Background of the bullish trend in the spot gold market

The surge in spot gold at the beginning of this year is not just a temporary fluctuation. Multiple factors such as global economic uncertainty, expectations of monetary policy, and risk asset aversion have collectively increased the appeal of spot gold. As investors turn to gold as a safe haven, trading volume in spot gold is also on the rise.
