Why Gold is Increasing in Value
In just 12 months, the price of gold has climbed nearly 50%, rising from the mid-$2,700s to over $4,100 per ounce. This impressive growth reflects increased inflation, supply constraints, and heightened demand for safe-haven assets.
Analysts project the upward trend to continue:
- Deutsche Bank expects gold to exceed $4,000/oz by the end of 2025.
-
J.P. Morgan forecasts an average of $3,675/oz in Q4 2025, potentially reaching $4,000/oz by mid-2026.
-
The World Bank projects a 35% year-over-year increase in 2025 on average.
These projections underscore what collectors already know — gold’s strength isn’t just about sparkle; it’s about stability and lasting value.

The chart above shows the steady rise in gold’s price and how leading analysts forecast continued growth into 2026. For collectors, that means every piece you purchase now — whether a watch, ring, or necklace — could hold even greater value in the years ahead.
