New Delhi, Aug 19
Gold prices are expected to remain elevated in the second half of 2025 due to macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical tensions, a report said on Tuesday.
Comex Gold is expected to reach $3,600 per ounce by the end of 2025, surpassing the record high of $3,534.10 seen this year on August 7, the report from trading and investment platform Ventura Securities said.
The jump in price will be driven by strong ETF inflows, stable central bank buying, and robust retail participation in India’s gold investment market, the investment platform said.
Gen Z investors, fractional ownership models, social media, and fintech advances are driving the shift from traditional jewellery ownership to tech-enabled investment channels, the report said.
According to the report, the positive yearly returns from gold in 14 of the last 20 years underscore that the yellow metal is a reliable store of value and inflation hedge.
