Gold Prices May Continue to Rise in 2025
Despite today’s dip, experts predict that gold will continue its upward trend throughout 2025. A Metals Focus report forecasts that gold could reach $3,000 per ounce by mid-year, driven by:
✅ Increased gold purchases by central banks
✅ Expected interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve
✅ Gold’s appeal as a safe-haven investment amid global tensions
Gold has already gained 31.6% this year, repeatedly breaking records. Silver prices recently hit an all-time high and eased slightly today.
