Gold passes $5,000 an ounce for the first time

Spot gold climbed above $5,100 an ounce, extending a rally driven by geopolitical tensions and central bank buying. Gold had first crossed $4,000 in October 2025.

Why it matters. With gold at record highs, the margins of most producers widen sharply, which supports deals and higher reserve prices.
