Later, the metal dropped back to $4500.
Gold has been setting new record highs for 50 consecutive days, Bloomberg calculated. However, prices for the precious metal rose above the $4500 level for the first time in history.
It had only risen to $4400 per ounce last Friday.
Analysts suggest that gold may temporarily settle at this level. About a quarter of the demand for this precious metal is investment-driven, which means it could return to the market as supply.
Analysts at JP Morgan, Bank of America, and consulting firm Metals Focus now expect the price of bullion to reach $5000 per troy ounce in 2026.
