Traditionally, gold price in Pakistan and across the world rises during uncertain times. Since the beginning of 2025, spot gold has climbed nearly 54%, following a 27% increase in 2024. This incredible performance has made gold one of 2025’s top-performing assets — outpacing global stock markets and even Bitcoin. Meanwhile, both the U.S. dollar and oil prices have declined.
🌍 The Forces Behind the Gold Boom
This massive rally results from several converging factors — anticipated rate cuts, economic uncertainty, central bank purchases, and rising investments in gold-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Analyst Rhona O’Connell from StoneX noted that “it’s the same old story — geopolitical uncertainty, now coupled with a government shutdown.” Investors are flocking to gold as a protective measure, she added.
🏦 The U.S. Shutdown and Its Ripple Effect
The ongoing U.S. government shutdown, now in its eighth day, has delayed major economic data releases. This has left investors dependent on unofficial indicators to anticipate the Federal Reserve’s next moves. Markets expect the Fed to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at its upcoming meeting, with another possible cut in December — both of which are bullish for gold.
🔥 Geopolitical Tensions Driving Gold Demand
From the Middle East conflict to the war in Ukraine and political turmoil in France and Japan — global instability continues to fuel demand for safe-haven assets. Deutsche Bank analyst Michael Shawe stated that developed market investors are returning to gold ETFs for the first time in five years, boosting prices further.

💬 Investor Sentiment and the FOMO Effect
