Analysts Urge Buying Gold Dip Near $4,500 as Equities Hit Records

Gold trades around $4,500 per ounce on May 29 after peaking at a record $5,400 in January and surging 64% in 2025. Latest commentary frames the pullback as a buying opportunity while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reach all-time highs, citing ongoing macro support from rising debt and money supply. Earlier pieces recommended streaming and royalty companies such as Franco-Nevada for long-term exposure and noted Newmont’s record $3.1 billion Q1 free cash flow. Analysts advise a modest 5-10% portfolio allocation via the GLD ETF with dollar-cost averaging rather than expecting repeat outsized gains.
