It took the commodity more than a decade to move from $1,000 to $2,000 and more than two years to move from $2,000 to $3,000, and, at based on it’s recent price dynamics, it could well hit $4,000 before the summer is over according to some analysts.The magnitude of the moves and the overall volatility – the yellow metal stood at almost exactly $3,000 30 days ago, climbed to $3,500 in late April, plunged to $3,200 on May 1, and surged back to $3,376 by press time – can be attributed to the overall state of the economy.Since 2025 started, instability has been the order of the day as President Donald Trump inaugurated an era of trade-war-driven uncertainty for regular investors seeking both safety and profits in the turmoil, and for nation-states reconsidering their dollar-denominated reserves and investments in the U.S. national debt.The post $1,000 invested in Gold at start of 2025 is now worth appeared first on Finbold.
