The main theme of the report is the analysis of gold price dynamics in the first half of 2025 and forecasts for the second half of the year.
Gold showed a significant increase of 26% in the first half of 2025 in dollar terms. The main growth factors were a weak US dollar, stable interest rates, and uncertain geoeconomic conditions, leading to high investment demand. Forecasts for the second half of 2025 range from a possible growth of 0%-5% to an increase of 10%-15% in case of worsening economic and financial conditions. In case of resolution of geopolitical conflicts, gold may lose 12%-17% from the levels reached this year.
