Gold gains 66% YTD before minor correction on profit-taking
Gold fell 0.
Spot gold prices eased 0.5% to $4,230/oz after an exceptional 66% year-to-date rally driven by global risk hedging and safe-haven demand. Analysts said recent profit-booking followed record ETF inflows and multi-year central bank purchases. The World Gold Council reported 2,900 tonnes of official sector buying in 2025, the highest in decades. Despite the pullback, traders expect gold to stay above $4,000 as real yields decline and geopolitical risks persist into Q4.
