The past October 7he gold for the first time exceeded 4,000 dollars by ounce troy in the futures market.
The recent escalation of gold It is explained by a combination of factors. The global monetary expansion and expectations of further cuts in the interest rate of the Federal Reserve have weakened dollar and reinforced the attractiveness of metal as a store of value. At the same time, various central banks have increased their purchases of gold to diversify your reserves and reduce your exposure to dollar-denominated assets; an effect amplified by geopolitical tensions.
As far as the 2025he gold price has risen 45.9%, driven both by this official demand and by renewed investor interest in an environment of lower real profitability.
These factors indicate that the growing trend could extend to long term.
He gold has already established itself as the second active largest reserve in the world, only behind the dollar and already above the euro. Its independence from governments, its stability in times of crisis and its ability to maintain value long term They make it a safe bet in the midst of global uncertainty.
For Dominican Republicthe rise in prices of gold represents an opportunity to increase revenue mining exports and strengthen its external position. However, the real benefit will depend on the national production capacity, the operating costs of the sector and the existence of an institutional framework that guarantees stability, legal security and favorable conditions for investment.
