Gold Price Today: Gold (XAUUSD) is trading at $4,702 today, April 28, 2026, as safe-haven demand remains elevated amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
The precious metal continues to hold above the psychologically important $4,700 level, supported by a volatile energy market and broad risk-off sentiment across global markets.
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East — The Strait of Hormuz is back in focus, with oil surging past $100/barrel today amid fresh Iran-related concerns, pulling gold higher as the classic hedge against energy-driven uncertainty.
Institutional safe-haven rotation — Both retail and institutional capital is flowing into bullion as investors hedge against geopolitical risk, with $4,700 now acting as a support level rather than resistance.
Gold mining stocks catching fire — On the ASX, Victory Goldfields (1VG.AX) surged 34.6% on heavy volume, signaling that the gold rally is pulling the broader sector higher alongside the spot price.

Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Strategy at J.P. Morgan
“While this rally in gold has not, and will not, be linear, we believe the trends driving this rebasing higher in gold prices are not exhausted. The long-term trend of official reserve and investor diversification into gold has further to run. We expect gold demand to push prices toward $5,000/oz by year-end 2026.”
Gold is firmly in bull mode with $4,700 as the new floor. The next resistance zone sits at $4,800–$5,000, but any de-escalation headlines could trigger a sharp pullback. Watch oil and geopolitical headlines closely this week.
