Gold is poised for significant gains in 2025, with experts predicting its price to climb between US$2,900 and US$3,000 per ounce or potentially higher. Analysts attribute this optimistic outlook to sustained gold purchases by central banks, ongoing geopolitical tensions, declining global interest rates, and persistent economic uncertainties. These factors, coupled with gold’s status as a hedge against inflation, underline the precious metal’s appeal in volatile times.
Exness reduces XAUUSD spreads by 10%, offering professional traders, investors, and analysts improved gold trading conditions with lower costs and better reliability.
The Japanese Yen (JPY) strengthened against the US Dollar (USD) on Thursday, boosted by stronger-than-expected Q2 GDP growth in Japan, raising hopes for a BoJ rate hike. Despite this, the USD/JPY pair found support from higher US Treasury yields, though gains may be capped by expectations of a Fed rate cut in September.
Gold prices (XAU/USD) rebounded on Thursday after dipping below $2,500 per ounce. Expectations of US interest rate cuts and ongoing political and geopolitical tensions are boosting demand for gold, as lower rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding metal.
