Gold prices have been on a spectacular run since President Donald Trump took office in January. This year, it rose every month, not two, but not two, and in 2025, it reached a new all-time high at 25 separate times.
Yes, it’s the 25 new all-time high so far this year.
It once hit a new all-time high of 39 in 2024, coinciding with the peak of the 2011 global financial crisis – the price of gold in the US dollar continues to move on to last year’s momentum.
Put another way, that amounts to gold hitting four new all-time highs. It has been consecutively every month for the past 16 months.

On Monday, gold prices surged to a new record high of $3,429 per ounce. This represents a fierce annual profit of 29% since the beginning of 2025.
But this is even more impressive. Gold has made a staggering profit of over 134% since the 2020 pandemic, with precious metals trading $1,450 per ounce.
