It took the commodity more than a decade to move from $1,000 to $2,000 and more than two years to move from $2,000 to $3,000, and, at based on it’s recent price dynamics, it could well hit $4,000 before the summer is over according to some analysts.The magnitude of the moves and the overall volatility – the yellow metal stood at almost exactly $3,000 30 days ago, climbed to $3,500 in late April, plunged to $3,200 on May 1, and surged back to $3,376 by press time – can be attributed to the overall state of the economy.Since 2025 started, instability has been the order of the day as President Donald Trump inaugurated an era of trade-war-driven uncertainty for regular investors seeking both safety and profits in the turmoil, and for nation-states reconsidering their dollar-denominated reserves and investments in the U.S. national debt.The post $1,000 invested in Gold at start of 2025 is now worth appeared first on Finbold.

Why Did Bitcoin Initially Drop After the Fed Held Rates Steady?
The Fed kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%, but Bitcoin still slipped from about $64,176 to $63,620 shortly after the decision — a drop of roughly 0.9%. The rate hold itself wasn't the surprise; markets had already priced that in. What likely weighed on price was the unexpectedly hawkish 9–3 vote, with three Fed officials pushing for a rate hike instead. Ethereum fell in tandem, and the same 24-hour window saw more than $400 million in leveraged crypto positions liquidated — a pattern consistent with leveraged traders rapidly repositioning after a more hawkish vote split than expected.
