Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio stated on Friday that gold has started replacing some U.S. Treasury holdings as the riskless asset for investors, amid a continued surge in the yellow metal’s prices.Answering questions by users on X, Dalio&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/RayDalio/status/1979221211188998472">called</a> gold “the most sound fundamental investment,” adding that it is a very effective diversifier to other asset classes like debt and equity.“A factual answer to your question is yes gold has begun to replace some US Treasury holdings as the riskless asset in many portfolios, most importantly in central banks and large institutional portfolios,” he said, adding that the holders of these portfolios have reduced their U.S. Treasury holdings relative to their gold holdings.“Gold is the most well-established currency—in fact it is now the second largest held by central banks—and has proven to be much less risky than all government’s debt assets,” Dalio added.The billionaire hedge fund manager’s comments on gold come at a time when the yellow metal has been on a record-breaking spree. Spot gold prices have surged 15% over the past month, and more than 56% over the past year. The gold rally is not expected to end anytime soon, either.Dalio pointed to central banks printing money when they had “too much debt” to repay, thereby devaluing it. “History shows us that the biggest risk is that debt assets like U.S. Treasuries will either be defaulted on or devalued, more likely devalued,” he added, stating that historically, around 80% of all currencies have disappointed, while 20% have been “severely devalued.”Earlier on Friday, analysts at HSBC projected gold prices <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gold-price-new-record-high-safe-haven-demand/ch6seUtR38E">to rise to $5,000</a> an ounce by 2026 on rising risks, according to a Reuters&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/india/gold-rallies-beyond-4300oz-set-best-week-five-years-2025-10-17/">report</a>. “Gold rally likely sustained through 1H'26 by geopolitical risks, economic policy uncertainty and rising public debt,” the firm stated in a recent note, adding that it expects central bank demand for gold to remain high.Following a nearly 5% surge over the past five trading sessions, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/GLD">SPDR Gold Shares ETF</a> (GLD) was down 2.54% at the time of writing, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IAU">iShares Gold Trust ETF</a> (IAU) declined 2.58%.

If no deal is reached between the U.S.-China and the relationship continues to deteriorate, that could be the spark gold needs to cross the $5000/oz barrier,” Vawda said, according to the report.Analysts at ANZ now forecast gold prices to reach $4,400 an ounce by the end of the year, while expecting the yellow metal to peak around $4,600 by June 2026, according to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/gold-steady-supported-by-expectations-of-ongoing-central-bank-purchases-ec850a1b">report</a> by The Wall Street Journal.

As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-is-gevo-stock-jumping-nearly-10-premarket-today/ch6nYSER3ZC">Why Is Gevo Stock Jumping Nearly 10% Premarket Today?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Gold Hits Fresh All-Time Highs As US-China Trade Tensions Spike

Spot gold prices rose 1.4% to $4,073.26 per ounce at 3.44 a.m. ET. It had jumped as high as $4,078.18 per ounce earlier in the session.

ETFs to Consider as Gold Breaks the $4,000 Barrier

Gold's record-breaking surge past $4,000, driven by ETF inflows, Fed cut hopes and central bank demand, cements its place as 2025's standout asset.

Gold prices continued to surge to new highs on Wednesday ahead of the release of the Federal Reserve’s latest minutes, while the U.S. government shutdown entered its eighth day.Spot gold prices climbed to a new high of $4,049 per troy ounce, surging by 1.6% before paring some of the gains. Gold futures maturing in December gained 1.7% to rise to $4,071, before paring some of the gains.According to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/gold-edges-higher-supported-by-possible-hedging-demand-c6e4a223">report</a> by The Wall Street Journal, Bart Melek, head of commodity strategy at TD Securities, expects gold prices to cross $4,400 in the first half of 2026 as the Fed eases its monetary policy. However, the analyst adds that any doubts about the Fed cutting the policy rate could result in a sharp near-term pullback in gold prices.Analysts at ING Think underscore the delay in the release of key economic data due to the U.S. government shutdown as a contributing factor in driving up the demand for gold. “Markets are pricing in a quarter-point cut this month, which would further benefit gold, as it doesn’t pay interest. Policy uncertainty and growing bets on Federal Reserve easing are keeping safe-haven demand strong,” the firm&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://think.ing.com/articles/gold-futures-hit-historic-4000/">said</a> in its latest note.Gold prices have surged 54% year-to-date, crossing the $3,000 level for the first time in March.

If you look at it just from a strategic asset allocation perspective, you would probably have something like 15% of your portfolio in gold … because it is one asset that does very well when the typical parts of the portfolio go down,” Dalio said Tuesday at the Greenwich Economic Forum in Greenwich, Connecticut.Spot silver prices have also surged to a new all-time high, rising to $49.03 per ounce, surpassing the 2011 high of $47.95 after a 2.5% surge on Wednesday.

Spot gold prices climbed to a new high of $4,049 per troy ounce, while gold futures maturing in December gained 1.7% to rise to $4,071.

Gold prices surged past the $4,000 mark for the first time in early trading on Wednesday, aided by growing political uncertainties in the U.S. amid strong inflows into exchange-traded funds.Spot gold prices rose to as high as $4,021.53 per ounce, and U.S. gold futures, which already topped $4,000 earlier this week, were trading at $4,041.20 per ounce at the time of writing. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/GLD">SPDR Gold Shares ETF</a> (GLD) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.“Love coming here to see gold bears panic every single day this year,” one Stocktwits user said.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/ttrader4551/message/631428325</stembedurl>“Retail is still totally consumed with the AI bubble and hasn’t even discovered gold yet,” another user wrote.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Hot_Dog_Daddy7/message/631359540</stembedurl>U.S. Impasse &amp; FOMO Fuel RallyGold prices have surged due to a shutdown of the U.S. government, which entered its second week on Wednesday. As the Democratic and Republican lawmakers remain locked in a dispute over healthcare benefits, investor confidence in the world’s largest economy continues to dip, leading to safe-haven flows into bullion.“The latest leg higher has been underpinned by the growing uncertainty over the U.S. government shutdown and fear-of-missing-out flows into physical gold ETFs,” Adam Turnquist, Chief Technical Strategist for LPL Financial, said.According to World Gold Council data, physically backed gold ETFs recorded their largest monthly inflow in September, resulting in the strongest quarter on record, with $26 billion in inflows. Notably, North American funds alone netted $10.6 billion in inflows in September.Wednesday’s advances came despite the U.S. dollar gaining against major peers. The rise of the greenback is typically considered a negative for bullion, as it makes the precious metal more expensive for overseas buyers.Pullback Risks?LPL analysts noted that gold is now trading at a premium of over 20% to its 200-day moving average, marking nearly two standard deviations above its average. However, the firm cautioned that despite its bullish stance on precious metals, it recommends adding exposure on weakness given the degree of overbought conditions.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-did-iren-energy-stock-slide-nearly-5-after-hours/ch6Edg6R3LP">Why Did IREN Energy Stock Slide Nearly 5% After Hours?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
