Gold continues its spectacular run in 2025, and as prices hit yet another all-time high today, within touching distance of $3800, the question is: will the gold rally continue?
Up more than $400 this month (12% rise) and over $1,000 since the start of the year, gold has become one of the best-performing major assets of 2025. Now, analysts and market watchers are turning their attention to the next milestone: $4,000.
Solomon Global’s contributing analyst Nick Cawley, in his note of September 1st, highlighted that gold was set to test $3,750/oz this year and he was quickly proved correct. Paul Williams, managing director of Solomon Global, believes $4,000 is well within reach before the year ends. “The past month has seen gold supported by numerous factors, including a softening US dollar, inflation concerns, anticipated additional rate cuts from the Fed, declining confidence in risk assets, ongoing geopolitical flashpoints and continued accumulation by central banks,” Williams explains. “These dynamics and this momentum look set to remain, putting gold on a trajectory that makes $4,000 by Christmas a strong possibility.”
This view is gaining traction across the investment world. Earlier this month, Deutsche Bank’s mining analysts also forecasted a $4,000 gold price, though they placed the target sometime in 2026. Their outlook is based on similar drivers: more Fed rate cuts, persistent global demand from central banks, and a steady uptick in ETF inflows as investors seek a safe haven in uncertain times.
While gold has already gained substantially, many believe there’s still room to run. The psychological pull of a round number like $4,000 could act as a magnet for momentum-driven traders, and with sentiment increasingly bullish and fundamentals aligned, the path to $4,000 seems not just plausible but increasingly inevitable in the near term.
This Christmas, gold could gift investors the ultimate present: a $4,000 milestone, sealing 2025 as a truly golden year.
