New Delhi: Gold prices made history on 26 January, when the price of spot gold crossed $5,000 per ounce for the first time. In such a situation, the price of 10 grams of gold at 5000 dollars per ounce is more than Rs 1.60 lakh per 10 grams. After this big boom, Robert Kiyosaki, author of the famous book Rich Dad Poor Dad, once again reiterated his very positive opinion about gold. Kiyosaki believes that this rally of gold is not over yet and its price may go up to $27,000 per ounce in the coming years. That is, the price of 10 grams of gold in Indian Rupees can go up to around Rs 8.68 lakh.

Robert Kiyosaki on Gold price

Taking to social media platform X, Kiyosaki welcomed the rise in gold prices. He said that this rise justifies his old attitude, in which he has been constantly saying that fiat currency, especially the US dollar, is losing its buying power. According to him, investing in hard assets like gold, silver and cryptocurrencies can prove to be more secure and beneficial in the current era.

In his post, he wrote that gold has crossed $5,000 and its level could be $27,000 in the future, although he did not specify any deadline for this.

If gold prices rise from $5,000 to $27,000, it will be an increase of more than five times the current level. This is one of the most aggressive bullish projections made about gold in recent years. Some investors may find gold expensive at the current high prices, but Kiyosaki does not seem bothered at all.

Kiyosaki to continue buying gold, silver, cryptocurrency

Kiyosaki recently clarified in another post that he will continue to buy gold, silver and cryptocurrencies even at current prices. The expert said that he is not worried about whether the prices of these assets are going up or down, because the real problem is the increasing debt on the US, which is constantly weakening the value of the dollar. According to him, as the US debt increases, the purchasing power of the dollar will decrease and assets like gold and bitcoin will prove to be stronger. He also said that he is constantly buying Gold, Silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum and that is why his wealth is increasing.

Why is gold rising?

Many global reasons are believed to be behind this latest rise in gold prices. Due to the increasing geo-political tension in different parts of the world, investors are turning to safer investment options, in which gold is at the top. Apart from this, due to the weakness in the US dollar, gold has become more attractive to investors from other countries. Investors’ sentiment regarding the US markets has also weakened in recent times. One reason for this is said to be the uncertainty about policy decisions in the US. Recently, President Donald Trump decided to withdraw from the threat of imposing tariffs on European countries, but after that, he warned of imposing heavy tariffs against Canada and France. These statements have raised concerns about global trade, which has benefited safe assets like gold.

The current rise of gold is considered an extension of the strong rally that began last year. Gold prices had increased by about 70 percent in 2025, which was its best annual performance since 1979. At the same time, gold has climbed about 17 percent in the current month alone. Strong central bank purchases, global economic and trade uncertainty and increasing investment in gold ETFs are considered to be the main reasons behind this boom.
