$XAU
Gold has officially surged over 65% in 2025, marking its strongest annual performance since 1979.
Fresh record highs were hit during Asian trading hours this morning as "geopolitical jitters" continue to drive demand for haven assets.
Recent US inflation data (November CPI at 2.7%) came in softer than expected, strengthening the case for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in early 2026.
XAU is currently consolidating. A clean break above $4,374 is expected to open the door toward the $4,440 level.
