Gold Price Development: A Look at the Numbers
In April 2025, the gold price reached a record high of around $3,500 per troy ounce (31.1 grams). In June, the average price was about $3,352 per troy ounce. This development reflects the increased uncertainty in the markets, driven by political trade tensions such as the erratic trade policy of the USA with higher tariffs. These factors drive investors to the precious metal, considered a safe haven.
Xetra Gold as a Safety Anchor
Xetra Gold offers investors an attractive way to physically secure their portfolios in volatile times without having to store the metal themselves. Each share certificate is backed by one gram of physical gold and can be delivered if desired. Since its introduction, approximately 8.2 tons of gold have already been issued to investors.
Overall, the rising gold prices and the associated inflows into Xetra Gold underline investors’ confidence in physically backed gold as a safe harbor. This strategic allocation serves to reduce risk in light of volatile commodity markets and geopolitical uncertainties.
