Frequently Asked Questions
How high did gold go in 2024?
Gold reached an all-time high of approximately $2,790 per troy ounce in October 2024, driven by the Fed's rate-cutting cycle, strong central bank demand, and escalating geopolitical tensions worldwide.
Is the gold bull market over after 2024's gains?
Despite 2024's 27% gain, many analysts see structural tailwinds continuing: central bank buying remains elevated, geopolitical risks persist, and the Fed's easing cycle has only just begun, suggesting more upside potential.
