Goldman Sachs Physical Gold ETF Price & Performance (AAAU)

Gold ETFs, including Goldman Sachs' AAAU, are climbing as a hedge against inflation and trade uncertainties. AAAU recently hit a 52-week high, reflecting a 38.7% gain from its low. Analysts attribute the rise to safe-haven demand and heightened market volatility. Central bank purchases and geopolitical risks further support the rally.12

Gold prices continue their upward trajectory, with futures surpassing $2,900 per ounce. Central banks and ETFs are driving demand, with Goldman Sachs projecting prices to reach $3,100 by year-end. Analysts cite tariffs and geopolitical instability as key drivers, reinforcing gold's status as a safe-haven asset.34

Gold's appeal grows as geopolitical and economic instability drive demand. UBS and Goldman Sachs foresee prices exceeding $3,200 this year, backed by central bank purchases and robust ETF inflows. However, analysts caution that a strong dollar and stable interest rates could temper further gains.56
