Gold is trading at a new record high as investors pour capital into the precious metal amid lingering uncertainty from ongoing trade wars by President Donald Trump’s tariffs and escalating fears of stubborn inflation.
Amid the current price surge, several artificial intelligence (AI) models project that the yellow metal’s value will likely remain above $3,000 over the next month.
The recent high comes ahead of Trump’s April 2 “Liberation Day,” when he signed an executive order imposing 25% tariffs on all imported cars. This move sparked reactions, especially from Canada and the EU, which are preparing to retaliate, heightening the economic uncertainty.

At the close of the last session, gold was trading at $3,085, ending the day up almost 1%. Year-to-date, the commodity has rallied over 17%.
The momentum around gold is also reflected in related exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are witnessing record-breaking capital inflows. According to Bloomberg data, gold ETFs have attracted $12 billion in inflows over the past two months, marking the largest surge since 2020.
Indeed, the ETFs have experienced a sharp rise in monthly fund flows, with March 2025 showing particularly strong inflows.
AI predicts gold prices
Finbold consulted several AI models regarding gold price prediction, which were largely bullish on the metal’s prospects over the next month.
For instance, OpenAI’s ChatGPT outlined three possible scenarios likely to impact gold by April 30. In a bullish case, if the current uptrend remains sustainable, gold could reach between $3,300 and $3,450.
A moderate case suggests a steady gold rally to $3,175 and $3,270. However, in a bearish case, if selling pressure emerges, gold could dip below $3,000 and trade between $2,930 and $2,950.
On the other hand, xAI’s Grok considered different market forces and speculated a moderate increase. A 3.5% gain could push prices to $3,193 if gold maintains momentum.
A pullback will likely see gold drop to around $3,000 and $3,023, while a strong surge driven by geopolitical risks might lead the metal toward $3,239 and $3,301.
Finally, DeepSeek AI also presented a range of potential outcomes where, in a bullish scenario, continued momentum and Federal Reserve dovishness might drive the historical inflation hedge to trade between $3,300 and $3,400.
In a base case, the China-based AI model projects moderate gains with price consolidation around $3,100 and $3,200, while a bearish case, driven by profit-taking or a stronger U.S. dollar, could lead to a decline toward $2,900 and $3,000. DeepSeek AI’s final speculative prediction suggests gold might test $3,200 and $3,250, though a short-term correction wouldn’t be surprising.
While each AI model offers slightly different outlooks, they generally agree that gold is likely to trade between $3,100 and $3,300 by April 30, 2025.
Gold’s technical outlook
From a technical perspective, an analysis shared by RLinda in an X post on March 30 suggested that gold’s strong close in the last session hints at a possible price breakout.
She observed that the metal is consolidating between $3,085 and $3,067, potentially preparing gold for a price breakout.
Now, if bulls can hold the price above $3,084, the analyst stated that gold could extend its rally toward $3,094 and $3,105.
