Gold has doubled in price in less than three years, reaching ₹1 lakh per 10 grams in India. In 2022, it was around ₹50,000. Now in 2025, it's setting new records, growing 23% this year alone and 50% in just the last 12 months.

But why is gold rising again?

Gold is seen as a “safe-haven” something people invest in when the world feels risky. Right now, there are global tensions: US President Donald Trump is criticizing the US Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell, and the US-China trade war is heating up again.

This makes investors nervous, so they turn to gold.

Also, countries like China are buying huge amounts of gold. China added over 12 tons of gold in just three months this year.

The falling US dollar and rising inflation fears are also helping gold prices climb. Experts believe gold could go even higher, possibly hitting $3,600 per ounce in 2026.

In short, with so much uncertainty in the world, gold is shining brighter than ever — and investors are taking notice.
