Gold prices have soared to near-record levels, surpassing $3,900, amid speculation of potential U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts. This surge reflects increased safe-haven demand as economic uncertainty looms. Meanwhile, Bitcoin reached an all-time high above $125,000 before experiencing a moderate pullback. The rally in both gold and Bitcoin underscores their status as preferred store-of-value assets, with ETF inflows and institutional interest driving market optimism. Financial strategist Charlie Bilello highlighted that both assets have outperformed other major asset classes in 2025.
