Editor’s Note
This article examines gold’s enduring role as a financial safe haven, highlighting the factors—including moderating U.S. inflation and ongoing geopolitical tensions—that drove its price to new records in 2025.
Gold is a key financial safe haven for individuals and businesses seeking protection against inflation. In times of uncertainty, investors tend to move their capital to assets considered safe, such as the US dollar or precious metals.
During 2025, gold has reached new price records, driven mainly by lower inflation in the United States and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
The purchase of physical gold, such as bars and coins, remains one of the most common strategies among those looking to invest in this metal. Since its price changes constantly, it is essential to track its evolution regularly.
Below, we report the price of gold today, February 6, in Spain.
The value of this precious metal is constantly moving in the financial market, subject to the movements recorded in recent hours. These were the movements recorded for this asset at the last cut-off, at the time this article was written.
Gold is being sold today in Spain at a value of €132.73 per gram. In the last 24 hours, the minimum value recorded for the metal was €126.94 and the maximum was €133.71. This indicates that a kilogram of gold is valued at €132,730.
Investing in precious metals is a considerable option in times of economic uncertainty, as their value shows less volatility than other assets. People can buy gold online or in person with entities that have the required certifications.
According to information from Business Insider, this precious metal maintains an intrinsic value that reflects the general cost of living, and its value usually moves in the opposite direction to the stock market. For this reason, its value tends to rise during economic crises.
This metal has great durability; it cannot be hacked or erased. Currently, there are two main ways to invest in gold: physically or in gold securities such as stocks, funds, and futures.
Physical gold comes in different forms, either as bars or minted gold coins. Both vary in size but carry a stamp with purity, origin, and weight to guarantee authenticity.
With the return of Donald Trump to power and a new escalation in the trade war between the United States and China, gold has found fertile ground to consolidate itself as the most sought-after asset of 2025. Its price has reached peaks never before recorded, in a context where markets react nervously to the economic policies of the Republican leader.
Reports from Bloomberg show a growing trend of gold accumulation by central banks, which has reinforced its value in recent months.
Goldman Sachs, for its part, warns that the yellow metal could continue this upward trajectory, due to renewed appetite from large investors for defensive assets.
Today, gold leads as the safe-haven asset with the largest global capitalization, even surpassing technology heavyweights. However, the recent rise of bitcoin in the cryptocurrency market has reignited the debate about its role as a potential safe haven against global volatility.
