Gold Rushes Past Record $5k in Hedge Against Trump
Gold price tops $5,000 per ounce amid Trump‑era uncertainty.
On 26 January 2026, the gold spot price eclipsed $5,000 per ounce, marking the highest level since the 2011 peak. The surge follows a 64 % jump last year, driven by heightened uncertainty tied to President Donald Trump’s second term. Investors cite on‑off trade wars, potential military friction in Venezuela, Iran, Greenland, and a 100 % tariff threat against Canada. The yen’s slide and speculation over Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s future add to market stress. Major banks have recently revised upward gold forecasts for 2026, citing the ongoing escalation of geopolitical risks and policy uncertainty linked to the United States and its allies.
