The price of gold has broken through the US$4,000 mark and appears to be approaching US$4,100. So, there should be no investor left who is not interested in the precious metal. The new record price level has slowed down central bank purchases somewhat. Nevertheless, they continue to buy gold. Gold is an important component of government currency reserves. Incidentally, the gold reserves of the Deutsche Bundesbank account for around 70 percent of total currency reserves, namely approximately 3,350 tons.

This puts Germany in second place behind the US among the central banks with the largest gold reserves. The US possesses around 8,130 tons of gold. Of course, there are also some voices predicting an imminent end to the upward trend, but many industry experts are betting on a further rise in the gold price. At the beginning of the year, Bank of America was one of the first to set a target of US$4,000 for 2025. Now, an analyst at this bank has stated that gold appears to be slightly overbought and that its upside potential has probably been pretty much exhausted. Other Bank of America analysts recently even predicted a gold price of US$5,000 for 2026. As long as opinions differ, the price is unlikely to have peaked yet. Even if consolidation or correction occurs, this will not change the motives of gold buyers.

The precious metal is a low-risk counterweight in an asset portfolio, providing protection against inflation and preserving value. And more than ever, price setbacks should be viewed as buying opportunities. A recent recommendation by a Morgan Stanley investment advisor to pursue a 60/20/20 strategy is therefore interesting. This involves exchanging half of the bond portfolio for gold in order to obtain a more resilient hedge against inflation. As demand for gold remains consistently high, gold companies should not be neglected when it comes to investment.
