What is the historical gold price per gram?

The historical gold price per gram shows that gold has proven to be a stable investment over long periods of time.

Twenty-five years ago, you paid around $11 for 1 gram of gold. In 2026, the price of gold already rose above $160 per gram. This means that the gold price has increased roughly fourteenfold over this period; a return of approximately 11% per year.

The return over the last 10 years was around 14% per year. This shows that gold has put on a massive sprint, particularly in the past few years, compared to its historical long-term average.

These historical returns underscore that gold is particularly suitable as a long-term investment and safe haven in times of financial turmoil.

What is the outlook for the gold price?

The gold price is expected to continue to rise in the coming years. The reasons cited by analysts for this are increasing global economic uncertainties, geopolitical tensions, and inflationary pressures.

For 2026, several financial institutions, such as J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs, anticipate that the gold price per gram could move toward $180 (approx. $5,000 per troy ounce of gold), depending on the dollar-euro exchange rate and ongoing geopolitical and economic developments.

This expected increase is supported by possible interest rate cuts by central banks and a weaker US dollar, factors that make gold an attractive investment.
