December 25, Fineko/abc.az. Gold futures in New York have risen by almost 71% since the beginning of the year, the best result in the last 46 years.

ABC.AZ informs that growth is probably related to global geopolitical tensions, trade conflicts and lower interest rates in the U.S., which has increased investor interest in defensive assets.

This week, gold broke a record for the 50th time in a year, surpassing the $4,500 per ounce mark for the first time. JPMorgan analysts predict a price increase above $5,000 in 2026. Gold has significantly outperformed index S&P 500, which has gained only 18% since the beginning of the year.
