Gold futures opened at $3,377.40 per ounce on Friday, marking a 0.8% increase from Thursday’s closing price of $3,350.70. While Friday’s opening price was slightly lower than the intraday highs above $3,400 seen earlier in the week, it still represents a positive trend for investors.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the May jobs report on Friday, revealing slower hiring and no change in the unemployment rate from April at 4.2%. Nonfarm payroll increased by 139,000, surpassing the expected rise of 126,000 but falling short of April’s revised increase of 147,000. The steady unemployment rate aligns with market expectations, as investors closely monitor jobs data to assess the economic impact of President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and trade war. A rise in unemployment could prompt investors to shift towards gold as a safe-haven asset in anticipation of a possible recession.

The opening price of gold futures on Friday reflects a 0.8% gain from Thursday’s close, continuing a positive trend over the past week with a 2% increase from the opening price on May 30. Over the past month, gold futures have risen by 0.4% compared to the opening price on May 6. Looking back over the past year, gold has surged by 43% from the opening price on June 6, 2024.

For those interested in tracking the price of gold, Yahoo Finance offers 24/7 monitoring of gold prices. Additionally, investors looking to explore top-performing companies in the gold industry can utilize the Yahoo Finance Screener to create customized searches based on over 150 different screening criteria.

Costco (COST) has become a convenient destination for purchasing precious metals, as they offer gold bars, silver coins, and platinum bars. These metals serve as popular options for investors seeking to diversify their portfolios. The club store introduced gold bars in 2023 and expanded to include silver and platinum shortly after. With gold, silver, and platinum prices all on the rise in 2025, Costco’s precious metals offering has gained significant attention.

Historically, gold has experienced extended cycles of growth and decline. After a growth phase from 2009 to 2011, the precious metal entered a period of stagnation, failing to establish new highs for nearly a decade. Investors should consider their risk tolerance and investment goals when allocating resources to gold, as the metal’s performance can vary over time.

Analysts remain bullish on gold, with Goldman Sachs Research predicting a price of $3,700 per troy ounce by the end of 2025. This forecast represents a 40% increase from the opening price of $2,633 on January 2. Rising demand from central banks and uncertainties surrounding U.S. tariff policies are cited as key factors driving the anticipated price surge.

In conclusion, gold continues to be a valuable asset for investors seeking stability and diversification in their portfolios. With ongoing economic uncertainties and market volatility, the allure of gold as a safe-haven investment remains strong. Investors can leverage resources like Yahoo Finance to stay informed on gold prices and industry trends, making informed decisions to protect and grow their wealth.
