- The live spot price for gold is approximately $4,125.67 per troy ounce as of early morning on October 26, 2025.
- The recent sharp drop and subsequent slight recovery in the gold Futures price are widely viewed by analysts as a healthy short-term correction following a significant rally, with the overall outlook for the remainder of 2025 remaining predominantly bullish.
1 🔑 Key Factors Driving the Bullish Outlook
The long-term positive view on gold is underpinned by a combination of macroeconomic, geopolitical, and demand-side factors:
- Geopolitical Uncertainty: Ongoing geopolitical tensions, trade uncertainty (like U.S. tariffs), and a trend of de-dollarization among central banks continue to drive demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.
- Central Bank Demand: Central bank purchases, particularly from emerging markets, are expected to remain robust. Many analysts view this as a structural shift in reserve management, providing a consistent floor of demand.
- US Federal Reserve Policy: Expectations for potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts through 2025 are a major tailwind. Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it relatively more attractive.
- Weaker US Dollar: A projected weakening of the US Dollar, often associated with Fed rate cuts and economic uncertainty, would make gold cheaper for international buyers and boost its price (as gold is priced in US Dollars).
- Inflation/Stagflation Hedge: Gold is seen as an effective hedge against persistent inflation, debasement of currency, and the risk of stagflation (slow growth and high inflation).
📈 Analyst Forecasts for End of 2025
While short-term volatility is expected, particularly around economic data releases (like the CPI) and political events, the targets from several leading analysts point to a sustained upward trend:
Institution End of 2025/Average Price Forecast (USD/oz) Key Viewpoint Goldman Sachs Rising towards $4,440 (Q1 2026 target) Pullback is healthy, multi-year structural bullish view continues, supported by central bank buying and ETF inflows. J.P. Morgan Research Average $3,675 (Q4 2025) Deeply convinced of a continued structural bull case due to recession probabilities, trade/tariff risks, and strong demand. Morgan Stanley Rally expected to accelerate into 2026 Continued gains driven by central bank/ETF buying, anticipated Fed rate cuts, and a weaker dollar. Deutsche Bank Could rise above $4,000 (by end of 2025) Supported by central bank demand, a weaker dollar, and Fed rate cuts. ⚠️ Potential Headwinds (Risks)
The positive outlook is not without risks that could temper the rally:
- Stronger-than-Expected Dollar: If the US Dollar remains stronger than anticipated, or if the Fed holds interest rates steady or raises them, gold’s momentum could stall.
- Technical Corrections/Profit Taking: After a significant run-up in price, further periods of profit-taking by investors could lead to additional short-term dips.
- Reduced Safe-Haven Demand: A major de-escalation of global conflicts or significant progress in US-China trade relations could temporarily reduce the appeal of gold as a safe haven.
In summary, the recent dip appears to be a consolidation phase, and the majority of market experts anticipate that the powerful underlying factors—especially central bank buying and expectations for US monetary policy easing—will support a continuing upward trajectory for the gold price through the rest of 2025.
- Geopolitical Uncertainty: Ongoing geopolitical tensions, trade uncertainty (like U.S. tariffs), and a trend of de-dollarization among central banks continue to drive demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.

Nice sawn vein specimen of fresh, unaltered high grade silver ore from the world-class Cobalt Ontario deposits. Sawn on one side only. The deposit was described in Mineralogical Record, Volume 43, Number 6. In general, veins are predominantly composed of carbonates (calcite and/or dolomite) with arsenides and sulpharsenides of Co, Ni and Fe with native Ag and Bismuth. Most of this material has been squirreled away in collections by now, although specimens do occasionally come to market.
There are a few of these silver slabs available. The very bright silver really makes this piece stand out, but, unfortunately makes it all so hard to photograph. As an example the one pictured above is 66 grams for $45.
