Gold Averages a steady 5-6% Annually. what changed?
Gold averaged 5-6% annual returns over 40 years but nearly 20% yearly over the last 5 years (roughly 2021-2025), hitting record highs above $3,800/oz by late 2025 and surpassing $4,000/oz, with 2025 gains up to 64%—its best since 1979.
Recent data confirms ongoing momentum: central banks bought 254 tonnes through October 2025 (potentially 297 tonnes by November), with prices exceeding $5,000/oz by January 2026 amid sustained demand.
Inflation is not the sole driver, as gold barely moved during 2021's high CPI peaks but accelerated recently.
While inflation contributes, central bank purchases and geopolitical factors dominate 2025-2026 gains, with forecasts like Goldman Sachs predicting $4,000+/oz by end-2026 due to diversification. As of writing this figure has already been exceeded.

Stocks and AI assets hit highs (risk-on), yet gold rallies simultaneously—unusual, as gold typically rises on fear while stocks fall.
Bonds signal confusion; this split suggests preemptive hedging by institutions against uncertain futures, not immediate crisis.
