Core Viewpoint - The international gold price has surpassed the $4,500 mark, with a cumulative increase of over 70% since 2025, outperforming most global assets. The sustainability of this bullish trend in gold as 2026 approaches is questioned [2]. Group 1: Gold Price Trends - The current gold bull market is not limited to 2025, having started its upward cycle in 2016.
