As of October 2025, the spot price of gold hovers around **$4,270 per ounce**. To put this in perspective, 20 years ago, the price was just over $400, and 15 years ago, it was less than $1,200. What does this mean? **If you invested 100 yuan in gold in 2005, it could now be worth 1,000 yuan**.
This is not a coincidence, nor is it some magical investment rule. Behind it is a profound global economic upheaval.
