Gold has achieved its largest half-year rise since 2007.

On July 1, gold has risen more than 25% in the past six months. With gold reaching an all-time high in the second quarter, the first half of 2025 has seen the best performance in gold prices since the second half of 2007. As of the first quarter ending June 30, gold has pumped 5.5%. Analysts say that after reaching an all-time high, gold is currently consolidating around $3,300 per ounce. Rhona O'Connell of StoneX stated in the report: "The easing of tensions in the Middle East and the signing of trade protocols have alleviated the situation, which is unfavorable for gold but could potentially help silver."
