Gold Eyes $4,000/oz as Analysts Align on New Record Highs This Year–Next
September 8, 2025 — Gold is once again at the center of investor attention after repeatedly holding above previous highs, with growing signs of a potential major breakout toward fresh all-time records.
Michele Schneider: “Long consolidation is fuel for the next surge”
Michele Schneider, Chief Strategist at MarketGauge, noted that in recent months, gold has been moving sideways within a narrow support–resistance range. Such prolonged consolidation, she explained, often signals energy buildup before a sharp move. She expects a breakout toward $3,800–$4,000 per ounce in the near term, calling the target “highly reasonable.”
Key drivers: Weak dollar and institutional demand
According to Axios, a $4,000 target could materialize as early as this year, supported by a weaker U.S. dollar, strong institutional flows, and ongoing central bank gold purchases as reserves are diversified away from traditional currencies.
Global media outlook: bullish momentum
-
Financial Times reports that gold remains a favored safe-haven asset amid global uncertainty, from slowing growth due to trade tensions to rising geopolitical risks.
-
Reuters highlights that central banks, particularly in Asia and the Middle East, continue to accumulate gold, which provides long-term price support.
-
AInvest projects gold could advance to $4,000–$5,000 next year if inflationary pressures persist and major central banks struggle to restore confidence.
Bottom line: $4,000 is no longer far-fetched
Taken together, analysts point to both technical and fundamental tailwinds — from the potential breakout after long consolidation to macro drivers like currency weakness, central-bank buying, and global economic uncertainty.
As a result, reaching $4,000 per ounce this year no longer looks out of reach. Some even argue gold could “make history” by hitting $5,000 as early as next year if global risks remain unresolved.
