Gold price in Romania today exceeded the psychological barrier of 700 lei per gram, reaching 703.35 lei, a new record. BNR data shows a previous high of 687.75 lei last Friday. The Romanian price is tied to the global spot market, which hit 5,058.09 dollars per ounce, crossing the 5,000‑dollar threshold for the first time. The rise follows a dollar depreciation and heightened tensions over Greenland and Iran, boosting demand for safe‑haven assets. Silver also reached a record at 106.8 dollars per ounce. The Japanese yen strengthened against the dollar, prompting Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to signal possible market intervention. Economists, including UBP’s Carlos Casanova, note that the yen may stabilize but remain cautious. Analysts project gold could reach 6,000 dollars per ounce this year amid geopolitical risk and rising debt levels.
