Gold has officially breached the $2,900 per ounce mark, inching closer to the psychologically significant $3,000 milestone. Given the trajectory of current market forces, industry projections indicate that we could witness gold soaring past $5,000 per ounce by the second quarter of this year. This historic rise is driven by a confluence of macroeconomic factors, investor demand, and government monetary policies—creating an unprecedented opportunity for corporations, institutional investors, and nation-states that hold vast gold reserves.
