Global markets saw a shakeup this week, as AI optimism cooled, global trade tensions rose, and the US government shutdown continued into week two. The uncertainty saw investors pile into gold, sending it above US$4,000/oz for the first time in history, and with central banks stockpiling bullion and rate cuts expected, the gold rush could still have plenty of room to move in FY26. The renewed drivers and tailwinds are fuelling greater momentum for the gold price, with hedge books winding down at a rapid rate.
