Gold Prices Soar to Record High of $3,800 per Ounce
Gold prices have hit a record high of $3,800 per ounce as global central banks accelerate their buying spree. The surge in gold prices from September 2024 to September 2025 has been driven by a weaker dollar, persistent inflation, and geopolitical tensions.
Nigeria has seen a significant windfall due to the surge, with the Central Bank of Nigeria holding a substantial amount of gold. Central banks worldwide, including those of Ghana, China, and Kazakhstan, have been strengthening their gold reserves.
